JournoList, the top-secret liberals-only Google listserve that the America Prospect's Ezra Klein started in 2007, has made its way into the wide world, courtesy of the irreverant Mickey Kaus. The list has drawn conservative's ire since Politico reported its existence earlier this month. NRO's Mark Hemingway threw a fit and fell in it, asking "if the list isn't "pushing an agenda," why are there no conservatives participating?" Dave Weigel, the Washington Independent's conservative expert (which is kind of like a red panda expert, except that conservatives mate far more frequently) tssked his widget at gloating republicans, and by extension, the leaker! So what the hell happens on the JournoList? Kaus and the poor soul who traded in his harp for a Kaus-brand hurdy gurdy have the answer: The list is where TNR's Jonathan Chait, free spirit Eric Alterman, and the Nation's Chris Hayes go to e-hug their shit out. [Ed note: Gawker and Wonkette beat me to this. FUCK!] Lying lawmakers, abortion, and the death of Culture 11 after the jump.

Bob Woodward suggested on TV that the Obama administration may be rocked by scandal soon enough. The investigative journalist hinted that it has something to do with a nanny problem. Meanwhile, Mike Madden of Salon reports that the White House's e-mail system is down. Wonkette provides the witty commentary for the e-mail problem:

"Sorry dudes all the resumes you sent to the White House this morning were not received, because George Bush broke the emails before he left office. Jesus, nothing in the White House works, nothing!"

And Obama moves on fuel standards.

This past week, two prominent web-first web-only outfits vented over the pervasive poop smell invading major power corridors of our city. The poop smell comes from ginkgo trees. Wonkette was the first to bitch. DCist questioned its army of readers about it. Readers described the smell as "vomit," and referred to the trees as "jizz trees." Awesome.

Cap Hill and Dupont Circle have been overrun with the jizz. The obsession was more than justified. And this morning, the Post has a great reported expose on Ginkgogate. Apparently, arborists have made the problem worse. In an attempt to mask the smell, they injected 1,000 ginkgo trees with a chemical to prevent them from producing the smelly fruit. They failed.

In fact, the arborists made the smell worse:

"The chemical didn't work, for reasons that scientists still don't understand. Now, instead of less ginkgo stink, Washington has its worst case in years -- a bumper crop of nastiness that is studding sidewalks and sliming dress shoes from Capitol Hill to Kalorama."
