- Huffington Post shares the Allbritton memo on the new Jim Brady-helmed local D.C. news web site, which will merge "the current WJLA.com and News8.net websites into a site whose aim is to set a new standard for media coverage of local news, with a staff of more than 50 people."
- Maryland has confirmed two more H1N1-related deaths, the Post reports. The cases involved "two adults from the Baltimore area who apparently had no underlying medical conditions."
- Street Sense explores why some local homeless people choose to stay on the streets instead of going to a shelter. "The homeless of D.C. have ended up on the streets, because of the problems that they have encountered at shelters, according to homeless people living on the streets."
- The New York Times takes a look at a federal study aimed at D.C. and the Bronx that will attempt to find out whether routinely testing virtually every adult in a community for HIV and then promptly treating those found to be infected can even be done.

What is it about German Shepherds that get Virginians so turned on?

"If you masturbate your K-9 unit, you'll have greater control over it."
This isn't only true for dogs.
Update: The dog is suing the department for ruining a really, really good thing he had going.
I can think of no better metaphor for contemporary labor relations. The dog is Labor, the cop is Management, the KY is Capital, the petit bourgeoisie are the Melwood guys who have to clean up the mess, etc. The Harvard School of Business should be using this in their senior seminar course.
Au contraire Comrade. The moppers are definitely lumpen proletariat.
Agreed. The bourgoisie would be the mid-level Melwood managers who go around with a bullhorn and a taser shouting, "MOP FASTER!"
The anarchists would be the people who pee on the rim out of spite.
The communists would be the ones who steal the toilet paper and claim that all property is theft.
Ya know, after Gorby ended that whole Cold War thing, I thought I wasted a lot of my parents' money studying comparative communist ideologies in the late 80s (it was big then).
Who would have guessed it would come in handy years later to politically define the jizz mopper class.
Having a basic understanding of the tenets of socialism always comes in handy when trying to comprehend the rationale behind legislation pending before the DC City Council. Whether it's 2nd Amendment or social services or redistributing wealth, it's all about having a population of stupid people who need to be protected from themselves. Which is why Mendelson and Graham are currently sponsoring the Protection of Widows and Orphans from Flying Canine Ejaculate Act of 2009. Did you know that more German shepherds are being forceably pleasured than ever before? This is a bigger threat to public safety than making kids wear porkchops around their necks while they play in the free-range pitbull park.
I'm pretty sure you can book a semenar any night on 14th St.
i wish this were on my car.
Why is The New Gay asking such an old question?
I mean, the High Heeled race has been an area media spectacle for, what, a decade?
(must...resist...discourse...on...gay...diaspora)
Homeless shelters in DC are notoriously unsafe. Poorly managed with little security or oversight, they've been like this for decades yet the companies contracted to manage them continue to get their contracts renewed. A co-worker said the local churches in his neighborhood take turns sheltering the homeless over the winter months, and it's a fulltime job just keeping these guys from strangling eachother. What they really need is to hire some mid-level Melwood managers with tasers and bullhorns.
Man that grafitti is ghetto...know what I mean, Sommer?
