In DC

I'm at a Conference in Washington DC, one of my favorite cities of all time. That's me in front of the Capital, the very building where Bill Frist will sacrifice Minority Protections to appease the far right so that he can run for President. Of course, he's filibustered at least one Clinton appointment, so I guess that means he was for the Filibuster before he was against it. I went to the WWII memorial for the first time today. It is a pretty area, but I have to say I was a little disappointed. It just seemed a little, well, for lack of a better word, cheesy. So many gave so much at that time, that it just seemed like they said, ok, how do we pay tribute to EVERYONE. I don't think they really succeeded. Maybe I'm strange calling the Vietnam and Korean memorials "subtle" or "understated" since neither is really physically small, but they just seem so much more, well, tasteful, I guess. Oh well. I'm going to try to get some night photos tomorrow.
