MONTGOMERY COUNTY,

DID YOU EAT YOUR

CHUNKY SOUP?

Chunky Soup spokesman - and, in his spare time, Redskins quarterback - Donovan McNabb has selected his new home in the D.C. area. And, unless you are a member of the Montgomery County Council, or are Steve Silverman, you probably wouldn't be surprised to find out that McNabb chose Northern Virginia over Montgomery County.

Why would he do that? Let me channel Mr. Silverman: "It's not because of our high taxes, our lack of airport access, our transportation gridlock, or the fact that - thanks to the county council's new budget - MCPS class sizes will increase this fall."

With new, regressive taxes falling squarely on the backs of the poor, the elderly and working families, Chunky Soup may just be too extravagant for MoCo budgets anyway.
