He needs to lose his job and his security clearance. Obviously unstable.

This one passed quickly from borderline to batshit deluded but The Donald will cure all that.

I think you all fail to understand the importance of how your neighbor uses his visitor pass in the "right" kind of DC neighborhoods. It ranks right up there with the trimming of the ivy and making sure that no Mexicans move into the neighborhood. I've seen people hire police officers to serve papers on someone whose grass is 1" taller than the city rules allow. They are all a little power mad in those places.

Not me. From kidhood onward, it was always reassuring to know if nuclear war vaporized the world as we know it, at least it would take out Georgetown first.

I've always referred to such NIMBY behavior as "micro-liberalism". The very idea that some policy wonk knows what's good for *me* because he spends his days deciding what's good for some minority half the world away. It's a special DC archetype. Georgetown, McLean, Silver Springs and Rosyln will only be improved by the application of 7800 degree nuclear plasma. It's too bad the rest of the city has to suffer for it.

WP's 2016/01/13 link has gnawed at me for months.
Fallows, national correspondent for The Atlantic and DC resident since Jimmy Carter denied asylum to a back-stroking rabbit, says he and his wife have circled the country for years to chronicle civic engagement for an Atlantic series. His own community activism till now, none, and it shows. He's tub beating a worthy cause and hasn't a clue how to go about it.
