As a bike commuter in DC for almost two years, I love the act of biking, but it is an often dangerous activity.

Right now, the regional Transportation Planning Board is considering adding bike lanes to Pennsylvania Ave and other streets in Downtown DC. AAA is opposing these changes.

If you are in the Washington DC area today, consider going down to the Capitol to show support for health care reform. Yesterday, the Tea Party came into town.

On January 29, Steve Walsh, a reporter with Missourinet, tweeted "Osama Bin Laden formally joins the American Left ... buying into global warming and blaming the U.S." Shortly thereafter, Fired Up Missouri ran a blog post about this tweet and then this post was picked up by Media Matters.
