State of Confusion

From the "I know it's true 'cause I saw it on TV" department: While watching TV this morning, the Emergency Broadcast System rudely interrupted me with a test. The text on the screen informed that it was a required monthly test for parts of Maryland, Virginia, "and the state of Washington D.C."

Hey, citizens of the District, you really DO have a gripe about not being represented in Congress. Not only do you not have a voting rep in the House, you're apparently being screwed out of your allotment of two Senators, as well.

I remind you, though, it was only a test. In the event of an actual emergency...

I'll hope the authorities have their stuff together a bit more than that message indicated.
