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.
