Arnold Schwarzenegger is speaking at Georgetown University's business school tonight, which seems like enough of an excuse to bring up the California governor's recent memo to state legislators informing them that he was vetoing a certain bill authored by a guy who reportedly once told him to "kiss my gay ass." The memo has gotten all kinds of attention for including what seemed to be a hidden (or not-so-hidden) message.

Take the first letter of each word on each line, and you'll see it spells the following:

F(or)-u(nnecessary)-c(are)-k(icks)-y(et)-o(verwhelmingly)-u(nnecessary).

That's "Fuck you"!

David Malakoff, 46, who resigned from NPR's Science and Tech desk after being charged with possessing child pornography on an NPR-owned computer, will be sentenced in federal court tomorrow.

According to the Examiner, more than 100 people wrote to District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle vouching for his character, including high-profile Post reporter Brigid Schulte. She described him as an "extraordinary" and "tortured" soul who was raped early in his life and kept that trauma a secret. Malakoff, who---according to this bio---lives in Alexandria with his wife and three children, says the rape occurred under the Taft Bridge in Rock Creek Park. A childhood friend remembers the rape happening to a boy they were with.

Good morning, City Desk readers, and welcome to another edition of Freedom Friday. Before we get started, I have to confess that I was doored again--the second time in as many months. I know the rules of the road/engagement, but I can't help myself: when I see a chance to avoid slowing down or stopping, I take it. Last night, that meant getting knocked completely off my bike by a guy exiting a cab and landing on the trunk of a parked car nearby. But don't worry about me, I escaped with only a small cut on my shoulder. My front rim, however, is wrecked, as is the cabbie's back right passenger door.  While I should probably find a new route or learn to take my time, I doubt I'll do either. And that's what freedom is all about.

The Washington Times' evolving credibility, the Motorhome Diaries, the Veterans Administration, and more after the jump.
