On K-Street, I'm guessing temps go to brick and mortar banks. It always takes a couple weeks to set up direct deposit. That and maybe they catch the odd first-year attorney for a lunch-break mortg...

Someone, somewhere, with a lot of free time, and maybe a desk job without much oversight, should make this calendar downloadable for people like me who like rock but don't like to type a whole lot....

Evgeni, Yevgenei it's a russian name, so all spellings in phoenician scripts are compromises. In Pittsburgh they spell it "Gino." Thanks for keeping me honest....

Andrew, that's amazing. I have found my calling....

Slow down a little, guys. Mr. Borlik has been leaving polite, friendly comments on my posts and he clearly shares (if a bit vehemently) DCist's editorial position against the perceived need for car o...

Hillrat's been commenting here as long as I've been writing. He's not as fairweather as all that....

You're too kind, Heckle. Not only have I been impressed with your writing, but I've heard only good things about it from the staff here and in comments I've received. And if I ever venture beyond di...

Thank you so much, Sordid. It's a real honor. Of course, Nate, I'd be happy to recap the game for you and anybody else who is still wondering what happened. Just off the top of my head: The Capi...

Thanks for the tip. It's always exciting when the people you're writing about are writing back....

Are your college students getting all political again? Try this....

Yeah.... Those seats were an excellent birthday present. Usually my game seat has pillows and blankets. You end up renewing?...

Alberto Fukufuji is the hockey goalie. Played two games for the Kings last year. Both lovely names, certainly....

Thanks much! The good thing about weddings is that usually everybody gets drunk and then you can sneak out long enough to thoroughly vandalize your friends' car. I wonder what else you could snea...

Thanks for the correction, Guest #3. Wikipedia backs you up. Would it be vain to point out that this misconception has so permeated our culture that it's even appeared in BusinessWeek? I sure hope ...

Actually, Sommer pointed out to me ahead of time that readers might have a hard time with anything that asserted a right of Virginians to commute into D.C. I explained that I do not believe in such a...

Brilliant summary of the above possibilities, cminus. As a corollary, I bike to work. But I am always in favor of sillyness....

Thanks for noticing, Moose. That's really the first premise of my argument....
