Some consider the Nation’s Capital as “Fantasyland on the Potomac”. Other outsiders are “Fed Up” with the Federal City. It's better to consider D.C. as “the District of Calamity” (sic).

Mia Love on Her Election
In an era in which candidates campaign on identity politics and elites impose collective guilt, it is refreshing to hear from Congresswoman-elect Mia Love (R-UT 4th). The day after her election, Ms. Love made the media rounds. On CNN, Michaela Pereira asked Mia Love a loaded question as to why it took Republicans so long to elect a black woman.
Mia Love's answer echoed the wisdom of Martin Luther King, seeking to be judged by the content of her character, not the color of her skin.
Narcissist-in-Chief?
Some political pundits are incredulous that President Barack Obama refused to assume any responsibility for the Democrats "shellacking" from the GOP wave midterm election results. Jeff Greenfield took to Twitter after the POTUS presser to wonder if our Dear Leader was in denial.
But "De Nile" is a river in Egypt. Based upon precedent, our President prefers Greco-Roman mythos.
Narcissus would be proud.
Alas, the Republican lead Senate is not poised to play Echo across Pennsylvania Avenue.
So who will whisper into Caesar's ear "Remember, you are no God" and would be effectively heard?
