Central Air Conditioning: The end of democracy as we know it

[Stoic]

It's been pretty hot here in the DC/Baltimore metro area the last week or so and the humidity went from "not so much" to "I can actually swim in it". It used to be part of the Washington DC culture that all the politicians when home for the summer and the President vacated the White House for wherever presidents hied themselves off to when the heat index got so that lobsters cooked just crossing the street.

Going home for the summer got them back in touch with the hometown folks and the hometown ways, but with the advent of central air conditioning they get to stay here and build their own little culture and conspire their little conspiracies, wreaking the country on a 365/24/7 schedule.

So, Mr. DC Politician when you turn your thermostat down today just remember you're turning it down for Saddam.

For all of our sakes, please go home.

You too, Cheney.
