Hizonner was ausente from the the D.C. Latino Caucus mayoral forum Saturday at the Josephine Butler Center, next to Meridian Hill Park. (LL was there, and compliments the hosts for having a cheese dish.)
The caucus, which voted 37 to 1 for D.C. Council Chairman Vincent Gray over Fenty, is muy cabreado that Fenty didn't show [...]

Mayor Adrian Fenty is using the same advertising firm for his 2010 TV commercials that he hired in 2006, Minneapolis-based North Woods Advertising, run by Bill Hillsman (as LL noted in his latest column). And on one level, the ads appear kind of similar. Here's a video of one of those 2006 ads. Notice the first line‚ [...]
The Examiner's Leah Fabel has today's big scoop:
D.C. Public Schools are days away from informing a “sizable” number of teachers and school staff that they no longer have a job in the system because of “ineffective” performance, according to school officials.
The school officials are short on details and specifics, but said the exact [...]
Who wants more results of meaningless straw polls? LL's readers do!
The latest one was in Ward 2 last night, where Mayor Adrian Fenty got around 60 percent of the 160-some ballots cast by registered Democrats. His opponent, D.C. Council Chairman Vincent Gray, got about 40 percent. Hizzoner is probably not thrilled with the results, though, as [...]

Loose Lips saw this poster of Hizonner on the way to work today. First thoughts: Someone has way too much money to burn printing large color posters.
Second thoughts: Low blow. Everyone looks bad mid-blink.
Third thoughts, upon closer examination: Hilarious that the poster's anonymous designer bothered to write "© 2010, All RTS Res'd" on a poster [...]

(There are also a few new details those of you who have been paying close attention to this story might find interesting—even you, [...]
