- For your RSS updating pleasure: Why.i.hate.dc’s Dave Stroup has launched a new local “news and media analysis” web site, District Daily. Lookin’ sharp, Dave!
- Pretty incredible story from the GW Hatchet about a 28-year-old freshman at the university who spent the last 10 years in prison, thanks to a murder conviction that was later overturned.
- Fishbowl DC foments some smack talk between WTOP and The Washington Post over who has more readers/listeners. WTOP makes some sense … until you start counting online readers, that is.
- Yitbarek Syume will stay in jail until his trial in the ongoing federal bribery probe of the D.C. taxicab industry, City Desk reports. Prosecutors, as you’ll recall, produced a tape recording on which they say Syume threatened to murder a man he found out was an FBI informant.
- Looks like oil-soaked paper towels may have been the source of the fire that destroyed the home of prominent local Peggy Cooper-Cafritz. Mayor Adrian Fenty today also announced a few improvements to how DCFD and WASA will work together.
- And over at GGW, David Alpert updates on the proposal to turn the Dupont tunnels into a shared art space. The bottom line: things are perhaps predictably stalled.
