In the Soup

DC has its moments -- like yesterday when I was walking down Connecticut Avenue from my office heading for the half-price Belgian ale happy hour at L'Enfant. Unawares, I stumbled into the midst of a flag-waving protest against Vietnam's communist premier, who was visiting Washington and, apparently, staying at the Mayflower Hotel. I guess that's what passes for a celebrity sighting around here. Call me a wonk but I think it's cool.
