Presidential limos for DC voting rights

Lots of great moments from the Inauguration. Some of them serious, like Obama's full-throated support for LGBT rights. (Though contrary to some reports, it wasn't the first time he used the Seneca Falls/Selma/Stonewall line.) Some of them fun, like watching the First Family behave like a regular, happy, un-self-conscious family. (It's not likely you missed this, but just in case: Malia Obama's amazing photobomb.)

My personal favorite: the president's decision to start using DC's "Taxation Without Representation" license plates on his limo.

The issue of DC voting rights doesn't tend to get a lot of attention outside the Beltway, which of course is one reason that members of Congress feel free to blow it off inside the Beltway. But it's really quite astonishing: 600,000+ American taxpayers don't have congressional representation. District residents have had a voice in presidential elections since 1961 and a nonvoting delegate in the House of Representatives since a decade later, but still no bona fide representation in the House—and nothing at all in the Senate. This despite the fact that DC has a larger population than Vermont or Wyoming.
