Good morning, Washington. We wake today to some stunning revelations: It appears the Centers for Disease Control have issued a new report that “confirms” that men are far more likely to have many sexual partners than women are. In related findings, the report, which was compiled from self-reported surveys of American adults, also indicates that American men have the largest penises of any country in the world and that American women are far more slender and yet miraculously big-breasted than anyone had ever given them credit for. And now for your regular headlines.

Catania denies most of Tuft’s account, but does say he has rightly pushed the company to sell the hospital as quickly as possible.

A spokesperson for Mayor Fenty said that lots of work has been done, but that it’s mostly wiring and plumbing, and not necessarily work that you can see above ground.
