That may be doubley ironic in a temporal since- Going back to at least the 1950’s, the Dupont Circle Citizens Association’s boundaries extended South to K Street.

Ironically, the actual Nazis were not in fact “neighborhood nazis”. They just called everything “Germany”.

I wouldn’t go that far. He is pretty handy with a map. Maybe that’s because the one good map is in his office. Where’s the map going to go when we move?

This one was on me! The other one wasn’t. Ask my colleagues–I’m a neighborhood nazi!

Reid: Francis Stevens is within the the Dupont ANC 2B’s borders. While geographically it is arguably West End, politically it’s clearly Dupont.

Sigh. Yes, it’s more properly called West End. But barely.

And SHEEZUS you Obama groupies are sensitive. Who said there was a scandal! LL just reports what the people want to know!

More importantly: Francis-Stevens is in the West End, not Dupont Circle (or even nebulous “Dupont”).

Ummm… is this really a scandal? I’m really OK with the fucking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES sending his kid to any public school in DC that he wants. Just the fact that he would even choose to send his kids to a public school AT ALL would be shocking and make me proud. Well, nothing would make me proud of our school system, but it would be kind of cool.

I mean, really. I think it’s probably okay that the Obamas get special privileges. I mean, he can already park anywhere he wants, has a 747 and a helicopter at his disposal, and has an armed SWAT team that follows him around. We don’t get those, do we? The school thing, meh. He’s going to be the President for crissake.
