Got this notice a little late, but if you are looking for something to do tonight head down to the Arlington Drafthouse for a screening of what's gotta be the terrifically awful The Sinful Dwarf.
The Drafthouse's Web site offers a hilarious blurb of the film, ending with this quote from the blog Daily Grindhouse: "The [...]
That's what the Washington Post is reporting!
But we may never know who's claiming it, though we do know it's a couple:
An attorney finally got in touch with the lottery office this week to claim the winnings on behalf of his clients. Hernandez said the money will be handed over at 11 a.m. on Monday, but [...]
At 5:30 p.m., I spot a woman wearing a mask exiting a metro bus at Mount Pleasant and Irving. Do I have Vice President Biden to thank?
Pittsburgh City Paper's cover story this week takes a whack at the ink-stained/Twitter divide, asking: "As old media struggles, is a new breed of journalists up to the job of replacing it?"
And unlike the Newseum, which essentially ignores the role of good journalism supported by slutty ads, the PCP includes alternative newsweeklies in the mix. [...]
From the Above the Law blog's reporting, the Kilpatrick Stockton law firm sent around an e-mail this morning detailing a possible suicide or crime scene in their 14th Street offices. The e-mail stated:
"Good morning,
Please remain in our space until further notice. Metropolitan Police Department are currently responding to an unconscious male with a gunshot wound [...]
Vinny Cerrato got creative with his team's fifth-round pick. Uh oh!
The Redskins' GM-with-a-longer-title-and-less-power-than-a-typical-GM selected Cody Glenn, a converted linebacker whose Nebraska career was most notable for injuries and the way it ended: by getting kicked off the team last year for an undisclosed off-field incident.
As Lawrence Phillips or any honest Husker fan can tell you, [...]
I'm pretty sure that this blog post's headline could be written every single day for weeks, maybe months. I wrote essentially the same headline for a blog post dated March 16 on the subject of DeOnte Rawlings. And another post a few weeks ago mentioning the issue. Back in early March, D.C. Police Chief Cathy [...]
Kentlands is celebrating its 20th anniversary as the country's first New Urbanism community. Where would any think piece on development be without the words "New Urbanism?" The New Republic, the New Yorker, and all architecture mags and development beat reporters should pay tribute. Kentlands sparked a million think pieces and dozens of those communities designed [...]
A couple of weeks ago, Washington Post Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli sent out a 1,700-word memo—"Memo No. 1"—that launched the re-organization of the paper's newsroom. As management memos go, it was a beaut—precise and elegant in its language and determined in its tone, all with the goal of creating a structure that would better position [...]
We have a report of a D.C. office worker with a case of swine flu. The flu victim is a World Bank employee who traveled to Mexico from April 14 to 18. The employee has fully recovered from the flu. The World Bank asked employees who worked with the staffer to work from home pending [...]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT—"Graham Still Looking Out for (Ward) No. 1"; "Cheh Docks Mayor’s Office Budget"; "D.C. Council Porkfest 2010"; "Jonetta Rose Barras Returns to the Radio"
Morning all. [...]
I was just driving down Georgia Avenue in Petworth and saw a young male walking toward a corner store wearing a bandana over his face. I hadn't seen this get-up on the streets of DC since the Mount Pleasant riots.
It's a jarring look, no doubt, and likely to catch on.
I couldn't tell if his garb [...]
Is the panic subisiding? Not a chance, but two of the six potential H1N1 infectees in Maryland are schoolchildren (one at Folger-McKenzie Elementary in Ann Arundel County and a teenager at Milfred Mill Academy in Baltimore County) and schools are open today. A lot of parents, of course, watch the TV, where things have been getting [...]
Screw the tanking economy: Der Schweinmeister is back.
On Tuesday, Ward 1 Councilmember Jim Graham pre-emptively told reporters that he'll be directing a grant or two in his pending committee report. "We do have earmarks," he said, "but we have kept them to an absolute minimum."
Absolute minimum, eh? Quite a boast for a guy whose committee [...]
...The Baster, which the sewer-minded among you may have guessed is about a woman trying to get pregnant via artificial insemination. Classy!
Yesterday, the Huffington Post tried to make a big deal out of stars Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman "making out" while filming a scene. The article's alleged point was CDC's suggestion that we all [...]
