You got the Washington, DC refer-endum all wrong, Donuel... Everyone knew the results but Wsahington D.C., like Iraq, is an occupied territory... Oh sure, they have a mayor and city council and can do some things but if the Congressional Review Board don't like what's going down they have the ultimate veto power... Yep, purdy screwed up system and if anyone is thinking democracy here, firget it... Won't find it in D.C.... Sho nuff won't...
