Well, this happened:
A recent report by the Inspector General says two city officials misused city property by "engaging in sexual activity" in a Reeves Center office and a city-owned car in the building's parking garage. The employees, a female District Department of Transportation staffer and a male Office of Unified Communications worker, also used their government-issued [...]
Because Nothing Says "Hot" Like the Beltway: The New York Times won a Pulitzer for a series on texting while driving (and walking), but now a more dangerous in-car distraction has emerged. A lawsuit in Fairfax County alleges that the defendant caused a car crash on the Beltway last year while driving 85 miles an [...]
No Sex, Please, We're Catholic: Co-ed dorms have been the norm in most colleges for generations; at George Washington University, students will soon be able to share a room with anyone of any sex. After all, today's kids aren't exactly notoriously modest. At Catholic University, though, they sure will be soon. The school says it [...]
In this week's print edition of Washington City Paper, we published excerpts from complaints the Federal Communications Commission received last year about local radio and TV stations, which we obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

I couldn't stop wondering why these women spent all of their time judging others on stroller choice, what school their over-privileged snob got [...]
From Ward 7 Councilmember Yvette Alexander's Web site:
On WAMU's politics hour, At-Large Councilmember David Catania just said that 36 percent—I think my ears are hearing that correctly—of 6th grade males report that they are engaging in some kind of sex.
Is this shocking? Or have boys learned at a very young age the art of lying about sex?
As everyone who reads LL Daily knows, the Washington Post reported that a D.C. Police officer was busted for soliciting SEX from a prostitute last month. (This is not shocking. Have you seen some of our cops?). Officer Robert A. Schmidt was busted in a downtown hotel as part of an internet-sting operation run by [...]
I saw this print at my vet's yesterday; the bathroom has a series of signed prints by a French artist showing dogs peeing. OK, whatever, Europeans, but one of the prints was worth noting:
How often do you get to see a dog checking out dog prostitutes? He's like, "Homina, homina: dog prostitutes," and his owner's [...]
