Good morning, Washington. As you make your way into work on this fine morning, a note to fans of Canadian super group Stars: “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead”? Good song. “Set Yourself on Fire”? Good song. Setting your ex-lover on fire? Apparently not cool. Attack of the Dubyas: Washington Post Radio (WTWP) is shifting to a “personality driven talk format.” And whose personalities (I hear you cry) will be driven into us courtesy of the once-anodyne…
