Caps Briefing: Getting the Message
Good morning, Washington. We hope you've been enjoying the stunningly beautiful weather we've been having this week. Our friends over at Capital Weather Gang say it's likely to continue through the weekend, though with a small chance of some more of those pop up afternoon and evening thunderstorms we grew so accustomed to in June. Still, for this time of year, we're grateful for as many eat-your-lunch-outside days as we can get.
Barry Stalking Charges Dropped: As we predicted, the stalking charges against Ward 8 Council member Marion Barry were dropped yesterday. The news prompted yet another late night press conference by Barry spokesperson Natalie Williams, where she fielded some questions about the recordings published online by the Washington City Paper. Barry's reaction to the tapes? "Barry is not disappointed," by his behavior on the audio tapes, Williams is reported to have said.
House Panel OKs D.C. Budget Without Amendments: Interest groups and lobbyists had been lining up all week for a fight with the U.S. House over any controversial amendments they might have tried to attach to the D.C. budget this week, but so far it's been smooth sailing. The House Appropriations Committee late Tuesday adopted D.C.’s federal appropriation without adding any budget riders forbidding the city from using taxpayer money to subsidize abortions or pursue a medical marijuana initiative, the Examiner reports. Amendments could still be offered on the House floor, though.

This Day in DCist: In 2008, we wondered if we're a town or a city, and in 2007 we patted the D.C. area on the back for having such high rates of volunteerism.

"D.C. pulled $50M share of Metro dedicated funds"
I say until they pony up, no District citizen is allowed to ride Metro.
Why should Barry be disappointed by his behavior? Even at the ripe, stinky age of 73, he still manages to keep his pimp hand strong.
In this crazy, mixed-up world, it's comforting to know that Marion Barry will continue to pull bat$h!t crazy antics out his a$$ with impunity, and his constituents will continue to love him for all his faults. He stands like a Viagra-fueled, daishiki-clad, pimp-hatted relic from a simpler, crack-and-loveboat clouded time: when men were men and women had big, f**ked up afros with big ol' soul picks sticking out of them. Good times.
"Boat? Boat? Gotcha lovely here."
This is awesome, gangstamonk.
Barry and Berlusconi should hang out together, they seem to have a lot in common.
Except one's a billionaire and the other has to write a check for his Happy Meal.
In other news, why the hell didn't Japandroids play "Wet Hair" at DC9 last night? It's like Hanson not playing "MMMBop." Or something.
Damn. I was looking forward to another gun smack down with Martin.
Speaking of droping it; or in this case not droping it.
A Russian woman has set a new world record, lifting a 14-kg (about 31 pound) glass ball with her vagina muscles.
Tight like prom night!
That would not let you go until she was ready.
Well, I'm counting on her flailing me around the room while I'm still attached.
Kegel-pocalypse!
