New Name

So we've changed the name, as you can probably tell. Why? Well, though we got to the J Street name first, there's the other J Street, which has a big enough profile to create confusion. We have been bumped off that particular patch of land, as it were. The new name is Capitolism (get it!), which seems fairly self-explanatory. My preferred name, suggested to me by a friend was Das Capitol, but that seemed a bit much.
