Will Wilkinson wants to associate himself with these remarks. Personally, I think a Cosmolifestyleorangebeltwaytarian sounds like a damn fine drink, and I'm hoping there's somewhere in DC that I can buy one.

I expect they'll be served at The Club, with a lime wheel on the side (to represent the Green Line).
Given a minor bout of insomnia, I followed the links and read the comments at Wilkinson's and Sanchez's blogs. Quite an interesting little dustup. If nothing else, it sounds like the Cosmolifestyleorangebeltwaytarians have a lot more fun than the RacismIsn'tThatBadSoShutUpAndBringBackTheGoldStandardtarians.
nah, Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster is far better... interestingly The Guide mentions gold as well: "It says that the effect of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick."
I guess this begs the question about the gold brick being a standard size...
OK, why are you orange? Does it have something to do with Tony Kornheiser?
OK, why are you orange?
Previously hidden Ulster Unionist sympathies, I guess.
Note that our gallant hostess didn'tcomment about this:
"Because libertarian print journalism is an awesome profit maximizing strategy, let me tell you"
Can someone explain to me why the Orange Line has recently become associated with libertarians? I just started seeing comments to this effect in the last couple of weeks, and can't figure out the connection. Maybe because the GMU Econ department is in Fairfax?
I'm on the red line (Brookland/CUA) and it's definitely not a libertarian stop.
Megan,
I had trouble just know sending a trackback. Seeing as there are no trackbacks on your posts going back for as far as I've checked (which is not very far), it may well be the case that everybody is having trouble sending trackbacks. That, in turn, means that you might do well to get whoever runs the technical side of your blog to check into what is causing the trouble; the error message is fairly mysterious.
Bletch. I promise to myself that I will proofread what I write before wantonly hitting "send" or "post," and the next day I write "just know." Dear readers of the previous comment, please know (now?) that I can spell. I'm just impatient.
