Thank you Yglesias. For years I've struggled with how crappy Chinese food is in DC, and I've never understood how it could be possible that this city cannot manage to do Chinese food well. Your point, however, is well taken. Mmmmm, now I need to go order some Chinese food. If only it wasn't all so crappy....
