Tom Davis, our representative from Fairfax, was on the Colbert Report this week. DCist thought he didn't do so great, but as someone who does media training as part of my job, I actually think he did okay. The format on Colbert is tough because he's so tongue in cheek that it's hard to stay on message because you have no idea where Colbert is going. I know Bjorn hates him, but he seemed fine on this. Plus, I like him right now for championing D.C. voting rights. That the 500,000 or so folks in the District of Columbia don't have a Representative or Senator really sucks. Especially because without this representation, Congress as a whole has a chance to really screw with the city and block its attempts to do things that are good for the city, but not necessarily good for the folks who have to commute to Capitol Hill every day.
In other news, Andy went to the doctor today and now has an ear infection in both ears again. He's on augmentin twice a day for 10 days and the bonus is it's likely to upset his stomach and/or cause diarrhea. Yay! The ears don't seem to be bugging him, but Dr. Staats said the ears are so red she doesn't see how they'll clear up on their own. Sigh.
Edited to correct my metaphor. I was an English major. Swear!
that's tongue *in* cheek
