so I saw some really cool stuff in the news: DCist.com reports that the a couple of local activists have started a campaign to buy the naming rights at RFK Stadium and call it "Taxation Without Representation Field at RFK Stadium," in order to highlight the fact that DC has no voting member of Congress. They are getting pledges on their website, and have already gotten about $10,000 in 24 hours, including my $25 pledge. And DCist also reported that the DC City Council has a bill requesting that the team wear patches about Taxation Without Representation and that our non-voting member of Congress, Eleanor Holmes-Norton throws out the first pitch. Clever stuff.

And also, the BBC recently requested to interview Bob Marley, who has been dead since 1981.

"He was very quiet."
