Controversy Over Rhee Now to Include Sex, Congress
WTOP's Mark Segraves reported yesterday that Sober Ride, the free taxi service provided by the Washington Regional Alcohol Program on major holidays, will not operate on Inauguration Day. Can't say we're too surprised, given the fact that it's usually impossible to take advantage of the service on a Halloween or New Year's Eve, let alone on a day when the city is expecting upwards of 2 million visitors and almost half the city will be closed to vehicular traffic. It's going to be hard enough to find a regular taxi on January 20; we can't imagine anyone was expecting a free ride that day.

But there will be Kennedy's in town.. celebrating Kennedy's.
Sober Ride is a great program, in theory. I've never tried it myself. But come on, if someone knows they need the ride, but won't pay for it themselves? Dui's themselves cost thousands of dollars in fines and fees, to say nothing of the human cost... Cough-up for the cab, people. Don't leave for a night out without cab fare in your mugger wallet... Do I need to write up a Partier's Survival Guide, or what?
Lesson Twelve, The Hip Flask, and You. Followed by don't let your food steal your booze, and hangovers aren't as much fun as they used to be...
