You mean the Washington NATIONALS, no?  Though I think WTOP-1500 used to be 
the Washington Senators flagship before they became the Texas Rangers in 
1971 (if not the flagship of the Senators team that became the Minnesota 
Twins in 1961)  I still miss the Montreal Expos, though they never could 
develop a rivalry with the Blue Jays.

Speaking of Senators, there is a Senate in Canada; hence the name of 
Ottawa's NHL team.  However, none of the seats in the Canadian Senate will 
be up for grabs in the election on Jan. 23.  Senators are not elected, but 
appointed by the Prime Minister and can hold office for life.  There are 
even a few who were appointed by PM John Diefenbaker back in the 1950s who 
are still sitting in the Senate.
