DC?
Washington DC is a mess, and I doubt that he'd want anything to do with it.
Take the politicians out, the federal agencies out, and it is still a mess.

Same could be said for DC without the Washington.   8^)

   Or PL90.  I remember having a T-shirt with a picture of Yosemite Sam
   holding two, drawn shootin' irons, with the caption "How's your 90."

    Gee, I don't remember that one...
    
    But I still have the one with the group of Yosemite Sam's (pistols
    drawn) that said 'If we knew how great we were we'd be dangerous'.
    
    Hi guys!
3202.15CSOADM::ROTHWhat, me worry?Fri Jun 24 1994 20:502
Hey Dave... I've still got one of those... (From my brief stint in sws.)

3202.16you want to know DC?DCOFS::ALSTONFri Jun 24 1994 21:0214
    Ahh, D.C., my home town, home of drug using womanizing mayors, home of
    gun-control (he who has the gun has control), home of homelessness,
    where Packwood and Kennedy roam, where vultures ticket,boot,and tow
    your out of state car, where the number 1 product is paper-pushing
    and the #2 product is drug-pushing, where the rent is too high and
    the moral is too low. 
    Where else can you find dead presidents,
    (either at a monument or at his house), street people asking for your
    take home pay (spare change to them, week of Digital pay to me), or
    hot dogs at vendors for sale from 2/$1.00 to $2.50 for the same 'dog.
    D.C.
    
    Ken Olsen can afford to buy D.C., but why invest in another falling
    venture!!!!
