“It is easier for a teen to get his hands on a Glock than a computer or even a book,” Obama said.
“We’re still going to do our jobs, and work around the clock, and keeping the officers focused and staying safe is really important.”
Redskins tight end Chris Cooley’s unwavering hatred for Dallas and Tony Romo has to earn him a special place in the hearts of the diehards.
Just in case you’re a newcomer to this whole “professional football” phenomenon, the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys don’t like each other very much.
On this grim, gray Sunday, Washingtonians have a couple of options. They can stay in and root for their NFC East brethren, the Dallas Cowboys, as they face off against the dread Minnesota Vikings.

And it needed to start in the short week between a Sunday’s loss to Buffalo and a Thursday night game with Chicago. And then it needed to start after Sean Taylor’s funeral. And then it needed to continue despite losing starting quarterback…
Well ain’t this a kick in the pants? The Washington Redskins, faced with having to take the same long cut to the playoffs that they did the last time they found themselves all but eliminated and facing a slew of teams suddenly willing to play dead, took their act on the road to Minnesota and won 32-1421, in a game that was only briefly tense and was basically decided by an alert eye on the…
Flying food? Perhaps you’ve noticed the odd little vehicle with wings near 8th and H, NW selling empanadas and other Mexican fare. It’s On the Fly, a new food business started by one of the founders of Zip Car, Gabe Klein, L’Enfant cafe owner Christopher Lynch, and architectural designer Michel Heitstuman.
