Washington, DC
a gigantic monochromatic terrarium of the underclass cared for by sloppy drunks and members of the House and Executive branch as well.
The Devil’s Dictionary
Washingtonian
n. A Potomac tribesman who exchanged the privilege of governing himself for the advantage of good government. In justice to him it should be said that he did not want to.
  They took away his vote and gave instead
  The right, when he had earned, to eat his bread.
  In vain — he clamors for his “boss,” pour soul,
  To come again and part him from his roll.
Offenbach Stutz

Weather
n. The climate of the hour. A permanent topic of conversation among persons whom it does not interest, but who have inherited the tendency to chatter about it from naked arboreal ancestors whom it keenly concerned. The setting up official weather bureaus and their maintenance in mendacity prove that even governments are accessible to suasion by the rude forefathers of the jungle.
  Once I dipt into the future far as human eye could see,
  And I saw the Chief Forecaster, dead as any one can be —
  Dead and damned and shut in Hades as a liar from his birth,
  With a record of unreason seldom paralleled on earth.
  While I looked he reared him solemnly, that incandescent youth,
  From the coals that he’d preferred to the advantages of truth.
  He cast his eyes about him and above him; then he wrote
  On a slab of thin asbestos what I venture here to quote —
  For I read it in the rose-light of the everlasting glow:
  “Cloudy; variable winds, with local showers; cooler; snow.”
Halcyon Jones
