...And speaking of irony

According to the Washington Post in an editorial:

a House majority overturned a city law and voted to allow D.C. residents to keep in their homes loaded shotguns and rifles, as well as handguns bought before 1976, unbounded by trigger locks or disassembled. The deed itself makes a mockery of Congress as a federal body. If the action is allowed to stand, however, the consequences could be even worse: The nation's capital will become a deadlier place in which to live.

So, let me get this straight. On the eve of the celebration of our independance, the day we rebelled against "Taxation without Representation", the House of Representatives overturnes a very popular gun control law in the District of Columbia, making it a more dangerous city. The irony? Guess how many representatives residents of the District have in the House? 0. Delegate Norton has no vote. Perhaps Alanis can add this vote to her song.
