I live in metropolitan DC. Five days a week, I ride WMATA’s Metro system to and from work, like most federal wage slaves in the region. (I’m not one, but since I work on K Street, it’s a fine line…) So many times, I am inevitably asked by an out-of-town guest what my commute is …
A gathering of LOONS… (‘Americaâ��s Affordable Health Choices Act’ courtesy of ‘Speaker Pelosi’) Dunno if anyone caught this in the stories being posted today about the House Democrats’ plan to force national health care on us. What irritated me most is the lead-in from the article in today’s Examiner (print edition, p. 14). “House Democrats …
‘Breaktime’courtesy of ‘needlessspaces’ As of tomorrow morning, I will be working a new job in downtown DC. It’s a short-term contract for a few months, possibly temp-to-hire, but I don’t care. It’s a job and I’m happy to be back in the grind. 🙂
In 2008 a crack blogging team was bound by restrictions of a blogging organization they didn’t build. These men and women promptly escaped from the shackles of the oppression to the freedom of WordPress. Today they survive as a radical bloggers in the nation’s capital. If all you see is the politics, if no one …
Detroit vs Pittsburgh. Game 7. All the marbles. They said it couldn’t be done, the statistics were against them. The Wings, too dominant at home. Fleury, too fluky. Osgood, too good. At 10:43 pm today, ‘they’ were proven wrong. Penguins win, 2-1. THE PITTSBURGH PENGUINS HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP!!! Congrats, boys. Take a bow. …
I’ve got a few minutes, so here’s some random rundowns: 1.) Still jobless. It’s been a hard three months, with over 150 resumes and covers gone out and nary a word in return. I have had a couple of interviews, but nothing panned out so far. The biggest encouragement I suppose is that I’m only …
‘Nuff said.
‘20090506-IMG_2634’ courtesy of ‘avanluven’ And well-deserved. Back in February, who would’ve thought this Penguin team would be repeat contenders for the Stanley Cup? I’ll admit I had my doubts, but I was pretty confident the Penguins would go far. And far they did. Not bad for a team whose mascot is a flightless bird.
‘On The Ice’ courtesy of ‘brookeBAMF’ I really, really wanted to do up a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals between the sixth seed Carolina Hurricanes and those pesky upstart fourth-seeded Penguins. Especially since Game 1 opens tonight at the Igloo. Alas, I don’t have the time. I realize many people don’t know the extent …
Caps owner – and, coincidentally, the single person in the Caps organization I do not like – Ted Leonsis bitched today in his blog about the back-to-back games between Game 4 (tonight in Pittsburgh) and Game 5 (tomorrow in DC). “It is a shame that both teams will have to play back to back games …
