Welcome to this week’s Where We Live! So far, this feature has taken us to every quadrant of the District, and soon, we’ll be expanding to include Maryland and Virginia suburbs. But first, let’s look at a DC neighborhood that has a real sense of community: Petworth. [...]

Because there hasn’t been enough bum-talk today…

If Dr. Ruth Jacobs’ incoherent discussion of the purposes of the anus wasn’t enough bum-talk for you today, I’ve got another one for you.
A new inmate security device is being tested in Maryland prisons. Invented after an offhanded remark by a corrections officer that their [...]
We Love Drinks: Fall Cocktails
Fall cocktails… Once upon a time, that just meant drinks with heavy cream. No more, thanks to some brilliant mixology (my waistline is thankful too).
I’ve been sampling some luscious fall drinks. Everyone is rolling out menus featuring autumnal tastes – apple, pear, cinnamon, pepper, rosemary, cardamom – oh my. Spice has cream beat! Mulling and [...]
Hate comedy
NBCWashington brought this delightful bit of kooky from Monday’s gay marriage hearings to our attention. Doctor Jacobs – who has presumably never prescribed a suppository – is here testifying, among other things, that the anus is an exit only accessory port and that allowing gay marriage mess that all up.
Her inarticulate performance is hysterical – [...]
Our Ovie, Full of Grace…

So Washington Capitals owner and bazillionaire Ted Leonsis spills the beans that he had Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople (cue TMBG!) bless himself and the Great Eight last night at a private event at Vice President Joe Biden’s home.
Now, I know there’s some concern that the Caps may well falter without their [...]

Does anyone else feel like this is the longest week ever? I’m so relieved the weekend is almost here. Here’s what we’ve got going on this weekend. Share your plans with us in the comments.
Tiff: My birthday is next week, so I’m kicking off the celebration a little early. On Friday, [...]
OMG WTF BHO?
Via FuckYeahDC comes this beautiful piece of wackiness. It’s a mashup of a Japanese エロゲ (eroge) called My girlfriend is the PRESIDENT, and modern day politics. I mean, who doesn’t get all hot and bothered talking about Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin? Okay, so that’s everyone. But this video is worth [...]

Unfortunately, I will be out of town for this but the annual Darnestown church bazaar will be happening this Saturday from 8:30 to 3:30. They always have some cool stuff to buy and this is a great opportunity to pick up an affordable holiday gift for that special [...]

You thought I was kidding about the butter until you saw this picture…
Things have been a little crazy this fall, and I’ve been missing out on my usual weeknight and weekend HEAVY dosage of the Food Network. Alas, this weekend, I am excited to get some face time with my favorite [...]
Wait, who’s sleazy?

Today’s WaPo story about PETA interns opens up with a description of a recent PETA public event against meat.
This self-assured knowledge is useful when the PETA interns are naked, which happens occasionally, like at a recent Friday demonstration when Kelsey Jaye stands with another “PETA Beauty” in a makeshift [...]
Five Favorites: Circles, Triangles, and Squares

DC has all sorts of weird land left over where the grid of street meets up with diagonal avenues. In many places, these intersections have been altered to create circles, triangles, and squares. Pierre L’Enfant originally envisioned these squares to be focal points of nearby neighborhoods, providing a place for [...]
