- In news that has no doubt absorbed several productive hours of your day, known jackass Kanye West was declared (declurred) a jackass by the POTUS. President Obama, who knows from jackasses, deployed the full authority of the White House to the aid of suddenly consequential twang tween Taylor Swift in ostensibly off-the-record comments with the press.
The Government Accountability OfficeTMZ has released the audio. Next week, it will fall on above-the-fray Blueprint 3–scribe Jay-Z to oversee the censure of Kanye West, President Obama, T-Pain, James T. Kirk, Sudoku online, Usama bin Ladotune, and everyone else who burned American productivity today. - In other VMA news, Washington Times red-carpet dream team Green & Glover reported on location and talked to Wale, perhaps the only adult onhand.
- Aaaaand if you think Kanye is cocky, check out D.C.’s MSM population. Gentlemen, rock out with your rulers out. And no, laydeez, I’m afraid Amanda isn’t talking about the city’s mainstream media.
- why.i.hate.dc has an item about people in the city concealing serious pocket pistols. Alright, I’m sorry; it’s in fact a response to District Attorney General Peter Nickles, who has filed the city’s official reaction to Palmer v. District of Columbia — the Cato Institute’s “right to bear arms” sequel to last year’s “right to keep arms” legal drama Heller.
- No innuendo about it: Expect long delays along South Capitol Street near Firth Sterling Avenue in Anacostia, where the D.C. Department of Transportation is installing tracks for the much-hyped streetcar system through the end of the month.
- Good news for District drivers: No more annual safety inspections. Bad news for everybody else?
- New security checkpoint area opens at Dulles International Airport, which Metro hypeman @MarkWarner talked up on the Senate floor today.
