It’s only a matter of time before ebooks destroy the print publishing industry, an evolutionary inkling that Ted Scheinman and yours truly documented at the District level (and here’s the NYT Magazine’s Gerry Marzorati writing about people who’d rather read novela-length cover stories on their Blackberries). As Kindle Come draws near, bibliophiles can (and should) take refuge in the musty alcoves that still serve their kind.

As you may have noticed, Washington Huffington City Paper rolled out a spankin’ new site design this a.m. This required some ad shuffling, which in turn created some unfortunate juxtapositions. To wit:

Wow. Prosecutors are dropping their case against Ted Stevens. Apparently, they withheld evidence at his trial that the Alaskan senator could have used in his defense. They will not seek a new trial. The 85-year-old was convicted last year on seven counts of lying on a financial disclosure form about hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts for his home. The grumpy old man appealed his case (but lost his re-election bid).

Switzerland, where Scheinman is gonna wish he was when I get into the office, is looking for a few good mountain cleaners. The economy’s pretty bad, and this is a skill that will not be affected by the Internet. I say go for it.

Happy Wednesday, D.C.! You might remember City Paper’s kind-of-a-big-deal Inauguration Photo Contest, whereby we elicited “dope” photographs from readers across the land. Two weeks later, we announced the winners. Recently, we even decided to send the winners their super-special swag, inspiring fourth-placer Aziz Y. to photograph his pooch in our delightful knit cap (above right). I think Beaujon’s was more of a statement, natch (above left)—but hats off to Aziz and his BFF, regardless.
