Washington has arguably some of the most interesting conversations in the United States. Where else can you find people who know about and are ready to debate the fate of Pakistan, military strategy in Iraq, which presidential campaign staff is doing the best job, the arcana of House rules, and minutiae about the U.S. code. It’s a great place to be around a lot of well-informed people.

Quote of the Week

Two 20-something guys studying at a Starbucks in Georgetown:

(Ten minutes of studying in silence)
Guy 1: “Dude, we haven’t talked about something really important yet.”
Guy 2: “What’s that?”
Guy 1: “Jamie-Lynn Spears being pregnant.”

After the jump, terrifying condiments, Lincoln Park, and Clinton Portis.
