Today’s legislative irony
‘(278/365)’

Thirty-nine congresscritters signed an amicus brief that was filed today supporting putting DC’s marriage equality on a ballot referendum. This is normally the point where I kibbitz about the idea of putting civil rights up to a popular vote, but this specific brief has tweaked me on another front….
Since when, exactly, have these [...]

According to ESPN just minutes ago, the NBA has announced that Wizards’ player Gilbert Arenas will be suspended indefinitely without pay. This is a rather shocking and unexpected move as a result of his ridiculous gun pulling stunt that took place in the locker room of the Verizon Center on Christmas [...]

Chef Marron and Chef Turowski’s Pickled-Pink Red Cabbage
With pickled red cabbage added to my jar collection (which includes a living breathing, yeasty bread starter), my fridge is starting to look more like a science project for Halloween than what you would expect to be pieces to a delightfully edible puzzle.

Georgetown U blog Vox Populi has been on fire with the updates today, but the one that caught my eye was yesterday’s piece about the American Kennel Club’s listings of famous dogs in pop culture.
Apparently it’s not just retail that gets slow in January. You know they wouldn’t be spending [...]

If someone on the street asked me to list the job titles at the White House, first on the list would be the President, VP, Chief of Staff, the news core, Press Secretary, etc…you know the people we constantly see in our national and local news reports.
But what about the behind [...]
Capital Chefs: Dennis Marron and Brian Turowski (Part I)
“Boys and their toys,” I laugh to Cathy. She and I are leaning against the counter in the kitchen at The Grille at Morrison House, watching Chef Dennis Marron pull out all his kitchen tools. He whips out a set of huge tweezers, tapping them together. “These are looser, more flexible,” he explains, comparing them [...]

And now, to make our Real World viewing experience more enjoyable, I present the RWDC drinking game that I promised last week. I envision this game developing as the season goes on and we get to know the characters a bit better. For now, though, I think that this should get [...]
