   DC’s first unpleasantly hot day of the year:

   Seriously? You didn’t have those days a few weeks ago when it was 95? Today wasn’t even that hot here in Philly.

   - I did this a few years ago in July, going up Route 2. Instead of going back the way I came, I went down the Route 1 way, intending to get a lift once I hit the road. Instead of doing that, I decided to go around the north side. I couldn’t figure out which was the trail that would lead back to the way I’d come up, and backtracking required me to have to gain elevation and by that time I’d run out of water. I eventually got to a parking lot several miles from the starting point and got a lift; by that time it was dark. Is it that hot there?

   - I describe how the GOP could take the green issue away from the Dems.

   - In a few months, former TP staffers are going to be roaming the streets shouting “Bill O’Reilly Stole My Brainwaves!” at passersby.

   REGARDING COMMENT # 1 BY JOHN

   I shoveled dirt off a truck all day,while outside in Baltimore [ 50 miles from DC] .And I did not feel hot at all.And i prefer cooler weather.I really do not know what MR YGLESIAS is refering to, since we have had a few hotter days over the last month.

   By the way MR JOHN , I stayed at a hostel in Philly for a cheap 4 day vaction. And I have to say that your public transport is way better than Baltimore’s anyday.I like your streetcars especially. They are a lot better than our Light Rail . The vintage one that travels up Girard street is the best.

   I live in DC, and I agree, today was miserably hot. Then again, I spent half the day walking around Dupont Circle and Chinatown.

   A politician on the Supreme Court? That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard. Why put someone naturally predisposed to dishonesty and the need to please crowds on the bench?

   If you want to get someone unconventional, get a constitutional law professor.

   Something to it: Matt Yglesias and Glenn Greenwald and Dan Froomkin my be considered a new class of thinkers: intelligent-wingers. Smart, thoughtful, more sides of a story, definitely non-ideologue, explaination of what’s behind their thinking. Looking for some reasoning and rational non-ranting ideologues to read. They fit the bill.

    If it’s unpleasantly hot, wear seersucker.

    Mickster: Yeah, you could be right – if you leave Matt off that list.

    MY needs to post a weather report for DC at the start of each day, for his readers who might be traveling to our nation’s capital that day. Retrospective weather is not so useful.
