Ok, all you activists, idealists and elitist snobs -- you've survived a long and painful campaign, and The Longest Election Night Ever. Now you awaken and find yourself crowned with the mantle of the presidency, as in "POTUS is You." A fair question: You're going to DC for the first time since you've been named the President-elect. What's the first thing you're going to do when you get there? Drop in on that Merry Band of Nerds at The Brookings Institution? Buzz Mayor Barry for lunch? Visit The Wall? or the Holocaust Museum? Maybe pay your respects to Tip O'Neill? Let's help narrow down those choices for you, shall we? --

    Bill W. Clinton
    Al W. Gore
    Alan W. Greenspan
    Newt Gingrich


Try telling TBH it isn't all about the money. C'mon. Tell us.

Speaking of Which: There Once was a City, which had A Ballpark of Its Own, until One Mayor Decided that it was Time to Build a New One. So, he asked The People of City what they thought, and they said they didn't want to shoulder the additional tax burdens of replacing a perfectly good albeit outdated stadium with two new ones. So he decided to build them anyway. But -- all is not lost -- get in on the ground floor of this! Who says there isn't poetic justice?!?!

Incidentally, these guys can generally be counted on for steady commentary. And, if that is pleasing to your taste, then set aside some time to delve into this. It doesn't get much better than Hearing How it All Was from Those Who Were There.
