Hey there commentariat, and welcome to a special four-day version of the Say. Hopefully your government mandated three-day weekend was filled with more heartwarming moments under umbrellas and fewer power outages. Regardless of how your Independence Day weekend was spent, the week leading up to it was certainly a busy one in comment-ville.

This week’s Comment of the Week comes from SystemError, who, upon learning that the D.C. Council endorsed the use of voting rights signage at Nationals Park, asks a really tough (and depressing) question:

What will come first: DC Congressional Representation or Nat’s World Series Win?

They both seem so far away sometimes.

After the jump, it’s all your pre-Independence Day musings and thoughts.
