The truck will be driving around the city through Saturday.

And a Republican hasn’t even moved into the White House yet.

Tea Party-sympathizer Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) wants to let you know how much he cares about small government by using the power of the federal government to tell D.C. what it can and cannot do.

Mayor Vince Gray has responded to the letter that 80 Congressional Republicans (and yes, two Democrats) sent him earlier this week, demanding that he “immediately” and “faithfully” ensure that the District of Columbia doesn’t spend any more of its money on “public funding for the destruction of innocent human life” and provide Congress with information about abortion spending. So how did Gray respond to the condescending request? Perhaps he used the opportunity to fan the flames of voting rights discontent and, as one DCist commenter suggested, simply “fax back a copy of his ass“? Nah, Gray used it as a chance to take a potshot at former mayor Adrian Fenty’s administration.

Yesterday, The National Review got its hands on a bicameral letter sent to Mayor Vince Gray by Republicans regarding abortion in the District. And yes, it’s just as preachy, condescending and arrogant as you’re probably imagining.
