The guy lives at the Exxon on Mass Ave; I saw him doing the landscaping there this spring. He always tells me how many days until Friday and what is happening at that moment somewhere in the world. I respect him, and am always cheered by his presence. Given that he has tendencies toward paranoia and conspiracy theories, I don't feel OK posting his blog URL. If you talk to him, he'll give you his card. It has his blog address. Also, NPR did an interview with him a while back.

I know the homeless man they are taking about as well. He has 2 printers and a globe in his grocery cart. That has always made me chuckle. He always tells my son to be nice to his mommy. My son calls him an "elbow." (he means hobo)

I know that homeless guy at that Exxon station, and he's quite erudite. Unfortunately, I don't know what his URL is. I'll have to entertain myself with hobo pictures.

You have to check and see what is wrong with your head...

Still don't have my unicorns! Obama better check and see what is wrong with his magic wand.

I'm guessing they mean on the outside of the circle, like where the bank is with the digital temperature display.

nice use of kerguelen, though. it's one of those places that i hope i'd be able to visit some day, because i'd probably be one of the only people there...

About 2 a.m. election night at the corner of Mass Ave and Connecticut near Dupont Circle:if there was a corner of mass ave and connecticut, it would be in the middle of dupont circle. something doesn't jive here.

I believe the quote was "Let's go mug some white people!"

I have totally had popcorn fall down my bra before. It's really not that uncommon of an occurance. But I don't know what position she was in for the popcorn to fall OUT of the bra...usually that's more of a surreptitiously-fishing-it-out process.

Political boner is so crude. I prefer to think of it as a visit from Senator Morningwood.

"Let's go hug some white people!" Hilarious. Made my day.

I liked the dig at Capitol Steps.
