[...] someone who has herself borne the brunt of a verbal tirade by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and who has never been a fan of the way he feels entitled to speak [...]

Q? for Q...I guess I must've inadvertantly inflated the blogosphere count, in attempts to help "sell her" on the job. LOL! 17 huh? I think the Creative Loafing Media folks won't be happy with that. Still, like the cast of SNL, an ensemble of folks is enough to get rowdy, especially with "guest" bloggers. Maybe WordPress can give some statistics, but to my record, the longest comment stream from a WCP article is 400+. Maybe Erika won't get an avalanche for this one, but all she has to mention is Barry, Fenty, Corruption, Racism, Same-Sex in the same article and she'll easily get at least 50 responses. Those key words fit Joel's "endlessly entertaining" description.

Good writing; good start. After covering Washington, welcome to DC. As a friend and Wilson Bldg. regular said to me: "it's endlessly entertaining."

The City Paper's disgruntled have, in the past, left dead fish in the drop ceiling. I, however, can assure you the dead banana was pure oversight. Sorry, Erika. Enjoy the Tylenol... and Angry Al.

Is 17 people (the approximate size of the "WCP Blogosphere," based on the paucity of comments on this blog) enough to get rowdy? Is 17 people enough to call it a "bunch"?

This posting has to be close to a record with its avalanche of comments.

Geez Angry Al, she just got the job and you're already hitting on her. Give her chance to survey the area (and do background checks, seriously) first. Welcome aboard Erika. Those in the WCP Blogosphere are a rowdy bunch.

And Georgetown's grip on City Paper grows a little bit tighter
