Here's one asinine video by ANC commissioner and busybody Frank Winstead, who asks whether it's safe that people play ping-pong on a table out front of Comet. Maybe not, but God deliver us the city in which this is a problem worth attention.
I'm gonna risk it all tonight. First, though, I hope to see some rhetorical table tennis as Bob Novak takes all comers at Politics & Prose.

Good thing nothing actually dangerous or illegal is happening in our nation's capital today.

Posted by: Kriston at July 19, 2007 10:50 AMi heard dc was dangerous, but this is just shocking
i feel safer knowing that somebody is on this. think of the damage a ping pong ball can do!
or the often underestimated damage that fun can cause.
this country is falling apart.
End pong now!
Oh, the Humanity!
Really, this is just another reason why ANCs should be eliminated from DC law. It is unnecessary to have this kind of retarded oversight.
