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 [...]
Good morning, Washington. It’s that same old feeling outside today: hot and humid with a chance of showers and t-storms in the evening. Perhaps the weather is to blame for the District’s sluggish job growth.
The Examiner reports D.C. speed cameras are hauling in a record amount of money from careless drivers. And it just so [...]

Our long municipal nightmare is over: D.C. Council Chairman and mayoral candidate Vincent Gray is removing part of a yard fence he installed without a permit, in order to bring the fence into compliance with all the relevant city ordinances and regulations.
"He started removing the fence last week," Gray campaign spokeswoman Traci Hughes tells City [...]

Despite the fact that Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy Wells recalls Ron Moten calling him "a liar and a double-crosser" at a recent hearing regarding the Peaceaholics, the two men currently find themselves agreeing about something: The D.C. Council has gone too far with its anti-vote-buying legislation.
For about 20 minutes today, Peaceaholics founder and Adrian Fenty pal Ron Moten held court on the steps of City Paper's building, blasting D.C Council Chairman Vincent Gray and venting about the mayoral campaign. Loose Lips columnist Alan Suderman captured the whole thing on video, and we've condensed it down to the highlights. (For more [...]
The Ron Moten show continues!
After Moten's confrontation fail with D.C. Council Chairman and mayoral hopeful Vincent Gray, Moten—whom Mayor Adrian Fenty wants more citizens to emulate—told a bunch of sweaty journalists that a) he's not a crook, and don't you dare call him a crony; B) Gray is a crook, and he will release the [...]
Peaceaholics founder Ron Moten will soon be waiting right outside City Paper's Adams Morgan office building to confront Vincent Gray. Gray and Mayor Adrian Fenty are both here for a radio interview on WPFW-FM (our downstairs neighbor). It seems Moten doesn't appreciate Gray calling him one of Fenty's "cronies." A close ally of Fenty's, Moten [...]
