Famous Redskins Cornerback Darrell Green has just started a blog for the Washington Post. It started yesterday. Here is a sampling of Green's fine insight and prose:
"First, congratulations are in order to Dan and Tonya Snyder for making the Redskins the richest franchise on the planet. No matter how you look at it they are [...]
Tim, I need you to try something.
This morning DCBlogs notes that Amazon has announced its list of the "20 Most Romantic Cities in America," based on sales of books about sex and relationships, as well as sales of romance novels. Alexandria is on top, while Arlington comes in at number nine; D.C. is number 11.
Maybe it makes sense that Salt [...]
Last week, the Office of Police Complaints issued its annual report, which revealed a positive development: The stalemate between the D.C. Police Department and the agency appears to be over.
Since 2004, dozens of officers had refused to cooperate with the agency—mainly by not signing off on their statements—in investigations of citizen complaints ranging from [...]
The Post reports on a new study that shows one in five D.C. residents is without regular healthcare. The authors of the report noted, according to the Post: "Hospital and D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services leaders appear to know little of each other's challenges." Awesome.
ESPN reports Post columnist and PTI Co-Host Michael Wilbon had [...]
ACKC may sound like a kennel club, but it's really a cocoa bar, chocolate shop, and art gallery run by business partners Rob Kingsbury and Eric Nelson, who opened the operation last year on 14th Street NW, just up the way from the now-defunct Viridian. ACKC is an acronym for Artfully Chocolate (Nelson's business in [...]
On New Hampshire just north of Georgia Ave.
For years, I've been hearing about these big-time security breaches where hackers or somesuch mischievous types grab a hold of a whole bunch of social security numbers and crap like that. And for years I've been yawning and going about my business.
UNTIL TODAY!
Georgetown University, my alma mater, had some 38,000 names and SSNs stolen from [...]
There is no shame on the Cleveland Park message board. This–from poster Paul–takes the cake. He writes yesterday:
Before I call a plumber, does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with a stopped toilet that so far has resisted intensive plunging and snaking? Most of the "liqud plumber" concoctions specify not to use them in toilets. [...]
An e-mail sent out to the third district police listserv has touched off quite a debate pitting neighbor against neighbor, resident against cop! Everyone wants to prove their street cred. The subject: What is the meaning of those random pairs of shoes that dangle from trees and telephone wires around the city? Here are [...]
It's probably a function of being exposed to Chariots of the Gods? at way too early an age, but I've always had a soft spot for conspiracy/occult/UFO crap. I've watched Loose Change at least twice, own a handful of Scientology texts, and have spent way too much time reading about Madame Blavatsky. One of my [...]
Welcome to Washington, Paul Lo Duca! I was very sorry to hear about the injury you sustained while working out. Rest assured that any decline in your performance this year, should such occur, will be blamed on yesterday's surgery, and your advancing age, rather than the possibility that your body chemistry will be slightly different [...]
Just got a press release–which I guess makes it official–on this week's school 'stay out.' The concerned parents, who are protesting the proposed 23 school closings, are comparing themselves with the civil rights movement. We aren't quite sure the comparison is apt. Whatever.
You can read the press release in full and decide for yourself:
FOR IMMEDIATE [...]
In the end, Barack Obama probably would have taken South Carolina without their help. But long before the poll numbers started rolling in, 50 D.C-area lawyers were up at dawn, doing voter protection work for their guy. The volunteers are members of Young Lawyers for Obama, a group founded by David Burd, an attorney with [...]
