Good morning, Washington. Supporters of Gov. Mike Huckabee and Sen. Barack Obama are riding high off their caucus victories in Iowa last night, but locally, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty continues to suffer some bumps in the road after one year in office. Just weeks after the resignation of Attorney General Linda Singer, Fenty's former deputy chief of staff, Neil Richardson, has also resigned. Richardson, who was a key Fenty aide during his mayoral campaign, had......

Metro has taken its share of heat this year for the way it's handled crime on its trains and in stations, so it's not surprising that the agency sent out a triumphant press release this morning announcing the arrests of five people in connection with a robbery and assault on Dec. 9 that may have been fueled by homophobia. According to the release, Metro Transit Police have arrested one adult and four juveniles for assaulting......

Good morning, Washington. Not that you could have missed the fact that it's awfully windy this morning after yesterday's late fall rainstorm, but the National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for the metro area, effective through 1 a.m. Tuesday morning — this wind will consistently be 25-30 mph until late tonight, with gusts over 46 mph expected. If you drive an SUV or another type of high profile vehicle, you're asked to use......

Former Editor-in-Chief Ryan Avent writes a weekly column about neighborhood and development issues. Not too long ago this site, along with the D.C. Council and much of the rest of the Washington area, was actively debating the incentive package for the new Washington Nationals stadium. At the time I was well aware of the questions about costs and benefits and was familiar with research on the subject suggesting that new stadia did not boost metropolitan......

Chances are, if you live in or near the city and are not fantastically wealthy, you probably have roommates. Maybe you live with friends, maybe with some folks you randomly found on craigslist and barely talk to, but sharing your living space with other people is a fact of life for most people under 30 in D.C. And in this kind of heat, any sort of odd personal odors emanating from your roommates' bedrooms might......

[craigslist] >> "You – giant-headed former President riding coyly down Independence this morning in a silver Solara convertible. Me – almost crashing into a taxi while trying to take your picture." [Pygmalion in a Blanket] >> "If dad goes for a walk with his daughter and holds her hand, apparently Virginia Department of Health officials......

Good morning, Washington. We hope you had a safe weekend and were able to enjoy the cooler weather on Sunday thanks to the rain brought in by remnants of Tropical Storm Barry. The respite from the heat, which looks like it may last through Wednesday, is one of the few things we can find to be upbeat about as we go over today's headlines. As you've already heard, Tonya Bell, a 30-year-old woman from Oxon......

When they take the stage, it’s apparent that The Ambitions have their style component down pat. Gracefully walking that line between clever and costume, their 60s inspired threads give a naturally polished look. After a few songs it’s clear that the word "polished" extends to their sound, as well. It is impossible to listen to The Ambitions and stand still. This was the case at the band’s recent Black Cat show. An initially austere and......

Final Baseball Vote Set for Today: How many final votes on the baseball deal are there? For baseball owners, their final vote on whether to send the Montreal Expos (to become the Washington Nationals) to Washington is today. While the real deal making has happened over many months and this vote is more of a formality, the cloud of unsettled District Council squabbles over the contentious stadium deal have put a cloud over today's vote,......

Now Official, Nationals: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a baseball team name: the Washington Nationals. While we've already heard that the former Montral Expos were going to be renamed the Nationals, the name and logos are going to be officially unveiled at a Union Station ceremony today. And the logos aren't going to be like this old Senators logo at right. The Post got an advanced look at the logos: There are several versions of......
