A convoy of tractor-trailers planning to circle the Capital Beltway in protest of the federal government has begun its descent on the Washington area and is causing some traffic problems for the morning commute.

So, how is this any different from a normal morning commute in the DC area? Seriously, in DC, an accident in the margin of a freeway--not blocking a lane at all--is enough to stop all traffic in the 6 lanes going that direction. The supporters of this can write what they will; it's a shame the protest isn't larger, and that its effect on DC traffic is imperceptible.

I wonder about the efficacy of this protest. The elites aren’t going to notice or be affected by this, but a whole lot of regular folks will, and I don’t think they’ll be very understanding of the message being put out this way. JMHO
