What, you thought they'd take the bus? Steering Toward New Fuel At Metro (washingtonpost.com)

From a story about how D.C.'s public transportation board narrowly approved buying a bunch of natural gas powered buses: For a half-hour before yesterday's vote, environmentalists demonstrated in front of Metro headquarters. They carried signs that read "Diesel Kills" and "I Want My CNG" and walked in a circle near the main entrance, chanting "Diesel causes asthma: Buy CNG!" But most Metro board members missed the drama because they drove to the headquarters, parked in an underground garage and took an elevator to the meeting room, never walking through the front entrance.
