I would like to take this moment to give props to one Mr. Kevin Wadzuk (AU Class of 2006) of Campus Progress for his post on the Social Capital blog today, “How to Piss Off a DC Resident.”

The Social Capital blog is a project aimed at the droves of interns, students, and sundry kids who flood our streets and subway cars each summer. He has dispensed some obvious, but all-too-needed advice for the younguns: stand to the right; do not speak of what you do not know; respect your temporary (resume-boosting) home.

Shame the kids need to be told, but then many of them do come from places like New Jersey (gads!).
