So D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles gave Ward 3 Council member Mary Cheh (D) some flowers today (City Desk even has a photo of said flowers). He did this in an attempt to apologize for telling a Washington Post reporter he thought Cheh, who recently criticized the Fenty administration for trying to keep Ximena Hartsock in her job at DPR for a while longer, was "stupid" and "an angry woman," remarks that struck this writer as pretty sexist. So it's hard not to raise an eyebrow at least partially at the act of giving this "angry woman" some flowers to appease her irrational temper.

I have three or four old cell phones sitting in the bottom drawer of my desk (along with roughly 20 cables and wires I have absolutely zero need for), so I'm relieved that today's rain means that the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District's "Flowers for Phones" promotion has been moved to tomorrow.
