Touch Up D.C.: I Hear America Singing

2008_0903_touchupdc2.jpg

Our second selection from the Touch Up DC pool comes from Backward Bill. He's modified the inscription at the Dupont Metro (a Walt Whitman poem) to read "No Taxation Without Representation." It's a sentiment we don't think Mr. Whitman would object to — afterall, he did write poems like I Hear America Singing and Democratic Vistas. As a supporter of expression and democracy, we think a modern day Walt Whitman would probably support D.C.'s right to vote.

Don't forget to submit your own mixed up creations to the contest. There's no hard deadline; we'll just continue to select stand out entries from the pool throughout the month. To enter, just tag your submission with "touchupdc" on Flickr (please, do not also tag it with "dcist").

If there was ever a Metro exit that deserved to be goatsed, it'd be Dupont.
