I wonder if people in the rest of the country realize just how hard it is to avoid presidential debates in Washington, D.C.? Last night, I went to taco night at the National Press Club and the largely libertarian crowd split into two pieces after: one that was staying at the club and watching the debates, another that was headed to Reason HQ to… watch the debates. Went with a ladyfriend to a local bar just off of Chinatown to avoid all that. That fine establishment piped the debate over the loudspeakers. So we got the check, grabbed a cab, and you’ll never guess what was playing on the car radio. And, no, the cabbie didn’t want to change the station.
