A slate of what Shtuhl calls "F-list celebrities, and me, somehow"—Gavin [...]

So Found Art, this thing we run in the paper each week. People send in their artwork and we run it. Often it's fairly bizarre, and way too often it's a picture of the roof of a Metro station, but whatever, people seem to like this Found Art feature we run in the paper each [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, snowpocalypsedc.com. Now stop dreaming up Twitter tags and GET SOME DAMN WORK DONE.
Sometime around 8, Tai Shan entered a FedEx container and headed out to Dulles. I hope he took 123 to the Toll Road, rather than stay on 66, which is a killer! He will be flying back to China as part of a deal under which they sell us cheap power tools for the foreseeable [...]

There's nothing new about Tony Kornheiser hammering Mike Wise on his ESPN 980 radio show. Local browser histories groan under the weight of blog posts about their on-air jousts (e.g.: 1, 2, 3, 4), with the most recent chapters concerning Wise's coverage of Gilbert Arenas' fall.
At issue are two questions:
1) How good was Gilbert [...]
Today Gilbert Arenas could prance through Chinatown wearing nothing but a bandolier and smile, and there would be no one to cover it. For today, every member of the District Sports Media Elite will be at the National Cathedral for the memorial service of George Michael, not the singer.
If you are from D.C. [...]
