Starting today, City Paper's political coverage has a new home on the Web—we've given Alan Suderman, our Loose Lips columnist, a blog of his very own. Fittingly enough, the first post on the new Loose Lips blog is today's edition of Loose Lips Daily. Go read it! And add it to your RSS readers, bookmarks, [...]
If you've missed Loose Lips—and with a campaign season in full swing, who hasn't?—don't despair. Starting Tuesday, Washington City Paper will send the latest LL down to the Wilson Building to bring back a full complement of news, political insight and insider gossip every week (in the paper) and every day (right here on WashingtonCityPaper.com).
Actually, [...]
Good morning, Friday! After work today, it's the weekend! Thank you, labor unions!
Have you heard the one about the fake 140-year-old hot dog?

Housing Complex and Cheap Seats are not on the same page. Cheap Seats is on Page 14. This is my responsibility; sorry, all. (Thanks to genius Twitter friend julesdc for pointing this out.)
But we did have to wait outside for 10 minutes while things got checked out.
The new owners of the Waco Tribune-Herald, a newspaper run for the last three and a half decades by Cox Enterprises, greeted their Central Texas readers with a note on Saturday to explain why in God's name they would want to run a newspaper in this day and age, when, as we all know, newspapers [...]
I joined the Washington City Paper family this week, replacing the beloved Jule Banville, the recently departed asst. managing editor and D.C. brunch-culture-hater who was kind enough to leave in her office some very important things, such as an AP Stylebook, two dictionaries and a bottle of Tylenol. She left a rotten banana, too, but [...]
Today I leave the best job I ever had, and that counts a brief stint at Trader Joe's where I tried to get health care after knocking over several cases of Two Buck Chuck with my ass. As asst. managing editor at Washington City Paper for the past two and half years, my job has [...]
Craigslist killed the value of alternative newspapers? Bah. Washington City Paper has never been pricier than in this ad:

Outside City Paper offices, 3:41 p.m.
We had some fun yesterday. Hope you enjoyed it.
You may notice some changes to the City Paper website today, most notably the removal of the events/restaurants/movies search widget on the right hand side of the page. We've been debating this change for a while now and looking at the usage stats, and we decided that the widget was doing more to create visual [...]
With the Washington Post now soliciting sources via Craigslist, we'd hate to be late to the party.
With this in mind, and in the spirit of UGC, I'm putting out a call for factoids/tirades/anecdotes relating to public urination in and around the District.
Ever been arrested? Ever spotted for a friend? Ever ratted someone out? [...]
Ignore yesterday's glass fully empty post about no City Paper Christmas Party for 2008!
Looks like we are going the AIG route after all! I have it on the highest possible authority that invites will be going out later today for a Dec. 17 company bash, to be held at some local drinkery.
