Tragedy Averted
According to this article (courtesy of DCist), Ben's Chili Bowl can stay in business after winning its property tax appeal. The property taxes resulting from the original assessment of $1.4 million would have submarined one of DC's most well-known and long-standing cultural institutions. While this would have been a tragedy for the neighborhood and the city, it would have been a panacea for my health since I eat there approximately 3 times a week.

It is stories like these that remind us that we must be ever-vigilant against property taxes run amok. Due to government intrusion on our rights, D.C. has lost such fine institutions as "The Charing Cross" and the unique and irreplaceable "Houston's" on Wisconsin. No, not that one, the other one.
By the way, couldn't they spice up those lame mayoral wagers for the playoffs? How great would it be if Tony Williams wagered his having to wear a *gasp* full length necktie! And the mayor of Tampa could have wagered that he would share the tape of the Carolina lesbian cheerleaders. Come on, you know there is one!
