The Turn: Halfway through, the two make their ordinary act seem extraordinary by suddenly becoming Anonymous White House Sources. The Prestige: Everyone assembled acts as gallingly obsequious as possible to enforce the illusion that the American people are children that should be treated with condescension.
>> The Warehouse gets the Gridskipper treatment. Blurb worthy quote: “…pretty much the alternative culture clearinghouse in DC.”
>> Look: we know it can be hard out there for a travel agent. But when you start scamming Severna Park Girl Scouts, we start getting Orbitz accounts. They make us delicious cookies! For shame.
>> It’s gonna be a battle royale of alliteratively named placekickers out at Redskins Park as Nick Novak battles Shaun Suisham to determine who will finish out the season in the burgundy and gold. Coach Gibbs, heed us: DO NOT BRING IN VANDERJAGT. The guy’s a straight-up, no-account punk.
>> As it turns out, everything you thought you knew about what’s happening with the House Intelligence Committee Chairmanship was wrong. BTW: the new name in the mix? Silvestre Reyes.
