Take me (way) out to the ballgame
An enterprising Washington Post columnist did a test drive from downtown D.C. to Northern Virginia's proposed baseball stadium site near Dulles Airport, and clocked it at 77 minutes, nearly as long as the trip to Baltimore's Camden Yards. Of course, he wouldn't have an ulterior motives or anything - even if he does write for a D.C. paper and call D.C.'s stadium plan a "a golden opportunity for baseball." And claim that it would "more than pay for itself in new tax revenue." And write that "all that remains now is for Commissioner Bud Selig to stand up to [Orioles owner] Peter Angelos" and give D.C. a team. Okay, maybe a teensy ulterior motive.
