what is wrong with Washington, DC???

I just came across this information on a site. I want you all to wonder what is wrong with Washington, DC??

The District of Calamity
- The Capitol City all-stars, bubbling with confidence that this year would be their best chance ever to win the regionals and advance to the Little League World Series, found out in June that they were out of the tournament because the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation failed to send in the paperwork on time. [Washington Post, 7-7-05]
- In June, the District of Columbia agency that approves charter schools turned down the Dupont Circle International Academy (a rigorous International Baccalaureate program), citing as one ground that the school will not admit or pass students who perform at below their grade level. The agency's chairman told Washington City Paper, "(A school) has to serve everybody that shows up." [Washington City Paper, 8-5-05]
