Sorry for the lack of posts today. This DCist was run off the road by a black Volvo while biking yesterday after work up near Battery Kemble Park. We’re OK, for the most part (no broken bones), but our body really hurts after hitting a tree. So we’re at home in bed (laptop nearby) and Kyra Phillips‘ voice on CNN is starting to cause acute ringing in our ears. Additionally, when we read the City Paper’s cover story unmasking the odd life of Examiner gossip columnist Karen Feld, the laughing that ensued has caused us to be in greater pain. Now we can’t decide whether we should feel pity for Feld. The City Paper’s John Metcalfe and Erik Wemple were certainly mean in their well-crafted expose. We assume Feld may train Campari and the cohort poodles to scurry up to Champlain Street to devour the CP scribes like a school of piranhas thirsty for blood.

Wait, didn’t DCist write something similar — albeit with a slightly more uplifting good-hearted tone — about Feld’s website back in April? It’s at least a few hundred words shorter.
