- D.C.: your Mayor is HIV-negative, in case you were wondering.
- Speaking of the Mayor, Gray delivered a nearly 5,100-word (!) speech this afternoon at The Yards on economic development and jobs; Michael Neibauer was able to glean six items of interest from the speech, which leads us to believe Hizzoner could have probably slimmed the word count slightly.
- U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen has assigned a new task force to address the challenge of solving cold cases in the District.
- Arlington: doing just fine in the pocketbook, thanks for asking.
- Davey Johnson takes his first turn as Nationals skipper tonight, and people seem excited. Meanwhile, all that blathering appears to have landed former Nationals manager Jim Riggleman a tryout with a Chicago cable sports station.
- Chief Justice John Roberts on technology and social media in the high court: “I don’t think any of us have a Facebook page or tweet, whatever that is.”
- Some guy from Bethesda thinks it’s the Post’s fault Mayor Gray has poor job approval numbers. (Uh-huh.)
- David Alpert, after reading this op-ed by Reason Foundation director Sam Staley, goes TRANSIT HULK on the Washington Post’s editorial filtering process.
- Silverdocs announced its audience award winner, Donor Unknown, which we reviewed on Friday. You’ve got one more chance to see it, tonight at 8:45.
- Not good news for those who bike: the District’s Department of Transportation might be putting the kibosh on crosstown bike lanes along L and M Streets NW, which were announced last year.
- The Nationals host the Pirates again soon, which means you can see some baseball on the cheap.
- Virginia sure does love its vanity plates.
- Oh, Michele Bachmann.
