- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer may be trying to find $3 billion in Metro funding to help replace all the city's 1000-series rail cars, but in the meantime, Mike DeBonis put together a guide on how to avoid the older cars. Personally, I'll still be riding in the front or back, where you can always find a seat.
- Just to clarify, yes, Clear customers are getting totally ripped off.
- Cary Silverman and Martin Moulet are challenging anti-gay marriage crusader Bishop Harry Jackson's D.C. residency status.
- The Prince George's County school board is considering naming an elementary school in Upper Marlboro after President Barack Obama, surely the first public building that would be named after the current president.
- Via dcsportsbog on Twitter, read this hilarious exchange during which Nationals fans recommend visiting Red Sox fans head to Remington's after the game, without mentioning that it's a big ol' country and western-themed gay bar.

Those sneaky midwestern progressives!
There's already a school in Minnesota that was named after the first couple in May.

Clear customers were getting ripped off the minute they signed up for Clear.
naming a building after a living person is akin to monuments, stamps, or coins reflecting a living person...just seems to smack of despotism and tyranny, even if the person had nothing to do with it.
And poor Ronald Reagan didn't even realize it.
I'm sure Nancy's psychic medium mediated a conversation between her and her husband's then-yet-to-be-departed spirit, and the future ghost of the Gipper gave the go ahead.
to follow up on my comment from yesterday's round-up—boo-freakin'-hoo, clear. adios!
and who's martin moulet? never heard of him. there is a martin moulton in shaw who's active politically...
...and who is a good guy, even if occasionally naive and often hotheaded.
Dedicated funding?! Money to replace the cars?! Wow, let's hope so and keep our fingers crossed!
I am curious why they didn't re-hab the 1000-series already?! They went and re-hab'd the newest of their cars but didn't touch the older ones; which makes no sense to me, you would think they'd preserve the oldest of the fleet before putting money into newer cars that don't yet need it. Weird...
1000-series cars were rebuilt in the 90s.

Total bullshit!
Total bullshit!
I've already put a down payment on a fire extinguisher alcove in Penn Quarter, just so I can declare myself a DC resident, register to vote in DC, and join other distinguished "residents" like Bishop Jackson. I was also tired of having to drive home after Peter Nickles' notorious all-night beer bong/oil-soaked pervert alcove parties.
Saw this on FishBowlDC:
"In defense of Gov. Sanford's aides, 'I'm getting some Argentinean tail' sounds a lot like 'I'm on the Appalachian Trail'..."
