>> While we don’t know anyone who’s hit the new Posh supper club, if their VIP list is any indication, it’s the new place to hobnob with B-list local celebs. We’ve just been waiting to get in good with “Northern Virginia moneymen Michael Saylor, Mark Ein and Joe Robert.” Not! [Yeas and Nays]
>> Our continuing search for a neighborhood that ISN’T a historic district is highlighted by an elderly couple’s plight in newly-hot Mt. Pleasant. They’d like to build a ramp so they can continue living in their neighborhood of 46 years. Apparently, it’s the stoops that make a neighborhood, not the people. [Raw Fisher]
>> A local blogger finds joy in the single masses in Adams Morgan. Probably more fun than stepping in discarded jumbo slice and running into underage girls dressed as prostitutes. [Talkin’ Shit About a Pretty Sunset]
>> Just when you though Adams Morgan was the “hot” hookup place, here comes Baltimore City jail. A woman is charged with forging documents and pretending to be a lawyer in order to see an inmate and fornicate. What happened to the good, old fashioned, legal, conjugal visit? [NBC4]
>> In the category of Presidential “nots”: If you still need to do Christmas shopping, your problems are solved – Chester A. Arthur Christmas ornaments are here! The White House Historical Association has been advertising these must-have doodads on the Metro, honoring a President best known for not being very well known. Even the history association’s biography admits that “Arthur’s notable achievements as president were few,” aside from some civil service reform and stopping Chinese immigration. But he did remodel the White House. So there’s something. See you on the tree, Chet!
>> Finally, in cybernetic news, the British government is worried about sentient robots gaining “human” rights. Hasn’t Battlestar Galactica taught us anything? Cylons were created by man. They evolved and rebelled, only to become super-sexy genocidal religious zealots. Tell me that’s not hot! [CNN.com]
