Just got back from a wonderful evening in Washington, D.C. First it was the pre-White House Correspondents Association Dinner cocktail parties, thanks to Jim Geraghty and the kind folks at National Review.

Highlight of the evening? There were a few. Meeting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was one of them.

So was meeting Xander Berkeley and Sarah Clarke from “24″. Xander was nice enough to pose with me for a self-portrait.

Both Elaine and Farrah (yes, Farrah was there as well) looked spectacular in their dresses (pictures possibly to come later). After cocktails it was off to dinner at a wonderful neo-Mexican restaurant in the District.

Also, by this paragraph, you might get the sense that E.J. Dionne doesn’t understand how Congress was set up. Yes, the three urban states Dionne referenced have six Senators, the same as the three rural states. But the three urban states also have a total of 101 Representatives. How many do the rural states have? Four. Two for Idaho and one each for Montana and Wyoming.

That means in terms of total representation, the three urban states outnumber the rural states 107 to 10. And somehow Dionne thinks this is unfair?

Tell it to the Founding Fathers E.J.

By the way, I could go off and refute Dionne point by point, but honestly I’m taking a day off and would prefer to go play with the twins. I’ll let y’all handle that in the comments.
