America's un-American capital

Never mind Iraq, ignore S-Chip, pay no attention to global warming. We have a crisis which surpasses all the others. Washington, D.C. is the nation's capital and baseball is the national pastime, so why can't a baseball fan in the Washington metropolitan area listen to the World Series? I live in Arlington, Virginia which until it was retroceded to the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1846 was actually part of the District of Columbia. Yet there's not a D.C. area radio station carrying the World Series with a signal strong enough to cross the Potomac. It's an outrage!

Can anybody imagine that the Nationals will fare any better than the lamented and lamentable Senators in a city of such philistines?
