Adam Magazine on the Crazy Years

Looting, killing and raping -- by twisting their words they call it "empire"; and wherever they have created a wilderness they call it "peace" -- Tacitus

I agree with DCist -- I wish this were a joke.

There is never anything good when the word Segway is involved.DCist: "Feeling that maybe a new, hipper identity would do better in attracting visitors to Fairfax County, tourism officials have announced that the county will now be known as 'fxVA,' writes the Post. Taking after the popular 'NoVA,' the well-known 'OBX,' and other such locale brands, county officials have also unveiled a new slogan ('Fx Marks the Spot') and announced plans for a segway scooter at Tysons Corner Shopping Center to serve as a mobile information booth. We wish this were a joke; we really do."

That deserves a walk of shame. But whether the local government should take it, or the citizens who aren't vociferously protesting this idiocy should is a real toss-up.
