I guess he figured, as long as he’s already there he might as well try and fuck it up in his spare time. Idle hands being the devil’s landscaping tools or somesuch.
More seriously though, isn’t Congress nominally in charge of DC ? And Ted Cruz is, regrettably, a no-foolin’, people-actually-voted-for-this-muppet part of Congress, so his stupidity doesn’t seem devoid of legitimacy.
Well, he’s right. I suppose you think it’s just a coincidence that a Jew won an election in the Middle East?
. . . and has a really sick, sadistic sense of humor.
But, we knew that.
Rick Santorum does everything he can to agree with a lady who is absolutely batshit crazy.
Among other things, she mentions Obama’s plot to nuke Charleston, which I somehow missed.
ETA: To be fair, I guess I would be afraid to say anything to upset (more than she already is) this woman, too.
I have been subjected to hours-on-end of Rocky & His Friends, because someone got the box-set for a gift and is forging through it at a breakneck pace. These Rs make Bullwinkle, Dudley and Boris look darn high-toned by comparison.
It is technically in his power, sure.
But it’s a dick move. It’s bad enough that I don’t even get representation in congress without having people from freaking Texas trying to make changes that are widely opposed by basically the entire city.
The whole situation is frankly undemocratic and shameful.
Eez beeg trrubble for Muslim Squirrel! 
“Rather than exercising regulatory humility, the three majority (FCC) commissioners chose to take the most radical, polarizing, and partisan path possible,” Thune said. “Instead of working with me and my colleagues in the House and Senate on a bipartisan basis, to find a consensus, the three of you chose an option that I believe will only increase political, regulatory, and legal uncertainty, which will ultimately hurt average Internet users. Simply put, your actions jeopardize the open Internet that we are all seeking to protect.”
Open Internet means the opposite of Open Internet.
Good news everyone! The same lady has just declared Racism is Over!
You probably know this already, but religious nutters like him think they are on a Mission From God to stamp out sin, which they define as people having sex outside of very narrow parameters. That, and Republicans hate DC. You know who lives here.
If we made you choose between Ted Cruz and nothing, you’d choose nothing and be glad for it! 
Washington was a bad idea anyway. They should’ve just made NYC or Philly the capital and not bothered about the question of federal control over the city.
Of course, Congress did get run out of Philly by unpaid soldiers, and the Governor and Militia of Pennsylvania wouldn’t help, so I can at least understand the notion.
Maybe we would be better off with an itinerant federal government. Move the whole shooting match to a new town every six months or so. If we were ever in a war on US soil, it would make the enemy’s job that much harder.
Nah. If we want defensibility and/or centrality, better we should move the capital to St. Louis and keep it there.
I could see a central capital as an excuse to revitalize Cairo, Illinois.
That copy of the video has been marked private for some reason. Here’s one that plays for me.
It’s disturbing how many people there are who are like this lady. She’s frantic and terrified over a bunch of crazy untrue bullshit.
As a proud St. Louisan, I approve of this idea. But I am forced to admit that the geographical center of the contiguous US is closer to (gasp!) Kansas City or Wichita. And if you include Hawaii and Alaska, the center moves way over to about 50 miles north of Rapid City, South Dakota.
St. Louis is still a better choice because it’s on the Mississippi, America’s central waterway. And it is a city neither Eastern nor Western, neither Northern nor Southern – the ideal capital.
Why is it that Cairo never developed into a major city, anyway? It’s at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
Personally, I think it would be funny to ask Santorum about Obama’s plot to taint our precious bodily fluids by contaminating the water supply with a mixture of lube and fecal matter.
