Will Mitchell: Washington City Paper Web Programmer by day, Internet superstar by night.

Mitchell, forever immortalized on the Express softball “Opening Day” online photo album (shown here absorbing the weight of the Express’s Chip Porter), has again become fodder for Internet gossips/tween scrapbooks.

Watch your back, Barack:

Note to HuffPo: Mitchell delivered the letter to Obama’s D.C. offices, not his Chicago headquarters. He is but one man.

   WAM may be but one man, but these photographs truly illuminate the two sides of his complex personality: fierce athletic warrior versus buttoned-up champion of democracy. He may be Amish, he may roll sans necktie, but nevertheless, WAM is a true patriot.
