Presumably, the FBI and US Attorney's office wanted to keep all alleged crimes in Virginia, thereby getting him in front of Eastern District of Virginia jury, not a DC jury. A lot of high-profile terr...

Just make sure you check "yes" next to the "did the bitch set you up?" box on page two of the D40, and you're good to go....

Slackers. So, after we all pitched in last Sunday to clear the alley of drifts, some of them that were waist-deep following the Tues-Wed storm, it's still "unsafe" for a big ole garbage truck, but not...

Counter-intuitive. I work in the building trades. In my experience, the richer they are, the cheaper they are. I wouldn't be surprised if these guys were *not* working for a reputable contractor, and ...

These workers are going to get sued. And lose. Badly. Sure, you could haul them into court and prevail, but then what? The Einsteins-in-question are probably judgment-proof, as in, likely to have few...

Well, before you put too much hate on Amtrak, they are least were running some semblance of regular service yesterday, unlike the airlines and bus operators....

Remember those numbers only reflect those that are "in the system", actively looking for work and don't currently have a job. You have to be "looking" (or at least say you are) to draw unemployment. I...

Way to go, DC GOP. I got that robocall at 4am. Great way to win friends and influence people....

Juvenile? No doubt. Rude? Probably. Disrespectful? Sure. But, then again, it was a pretty much an in-your-face speech. And the Dems are so shocked that they're getting a push-back, especially after al...

Adrian Milhous Fenty. As stonewallers go, perhaps he should heed that old saw that the fallout from a coverup is usually worse than the underlying crime. And apparently there isn't even a "crime" in t...

Were the bees held for questioning in the Chandra Levy slaying??...

Beware if your contract for Ward 8 poverty outreach includes the phrase "other duties as assigned."...
