Was that 2004 D.C. Statehood Green Party shadow representative candidate Adam Eidinger's campaign motto? I hope Moby comes DC to play some statehood related shows to raise money for statehood awareness. It's clear that the current effort for 1/3 representation through voting rights (DC Vote) is not going to work and its time that statehood is pushed for again.

Moby maybe is a composer of the music of some value but his opinions on the District status?... Irrelevant, aren't they? Who does that Moby think he is? A Moby Dick?

What was LL thinking?

Now, Cesspool issued two astute and cultured, grammar-friendly comments. That's what I call good poster.

With ya all the way, gal. But why don’t you go on strike for now, eh?

wahoo, Wild Cat General Strike. Although illegal if called for by a union, I'm going to assume here that Moby called for it as a citizen and not necessary a member of a musicians union (Do they allow DJ's in it?).

uh - Musicians play instruments. DJs spin the music that musicians create.
DC will never become a state. Moby is right, if people really cared & went on strike, it might happen, but people here just don't care enough to do anything but make a few random demonstrations & come up with an inane slogan [it supposed to be "NO taxation w/o representation" not "taxation w/o representation"].

Moby is correct in stating that if DC becomes a state, we will have two senators.

There's also the Hold Steady Corollary: "Everyone's a critic/And most people are DJs."

I'm surprised that a bunch of DJs haven't jumped all over your ass, for implying that "musicians" and "DJs" are not the same thing.
