While it might be a little premature to assume that we’re definitely going to get a vote in Congress, the news from the Hill has caused us to spend the better part of the day pondering what the newfound freedom will feel like. And in our happy world, District residents will pour into the streets, embrace and break into spontaneous dance to the tune of “Dancin’ in the Street” and “We Built this City.” The next day, District planners will recoil at the amount work it’ll be to take “Taxation Without Representation” off of all those damn license plates, the folks at D.C. Vote will suddenly find themselves unemployed and we’ll no longer be able to blame everything on Congress. Damn. This voting rights thing might not be all it’s cracked up to, huh?
