The main intersection in Georgetown, at Wisconsin and M Streets NW, could soon be known for more than over-priced boutiques and terrible traffic. Council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2) has introduced a bill that would name the intersection “Joe Pozell Square,” after D.C. reserve police officer Joseph Pozell, who directed traffic in the intersection for years. Pozell died in 2005 after being hit by an SUV in the very same intersection. Should the D.C. Council…

Someone gets their rights trampled on and she responds with a vegan cake? That is so fucking weak. Grow a pair.” [why.i.hate.dc] >> “If you’ve always wanted one of Sen.

Many schools are still closed and roads and sidewalks still dangerously icy this morning as the region struggles to dig out of the winter storm that passed through earlier this week. Most of the really bad news continues to come out of the suburbs, where many homes are still without power, and injuries and at least one death have been reported. The Post has a good rundown of the extent of the metro area’s ice…

Hey Washington, are you suddenly feeling cheerier than usual this morning, without knowing for sure why? Well check it out: Congressional Democrats have gone ahead and returned to a rules change that allows nonstate representatives to vote on amendments. The nonstates included in the rule, which was also in place from 1993-1995, are American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Now it’s on to getting full voting rights!…

>> Yeah, you. You need to stay late tonight to make up for the crazy amount of time you’re about to have off. That’s right, those of us who do not work for the Federal Government are currently glaring up a storm at those of you who do, because the word from on high is now official: President Bush has declared January 2 as the official day of mourning for President Ford, which means Federal…

Common sense took a bit of a beating today, courtesy of the Washington Redskins and D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams. As we learned from NBC 4 this morning, city officials and confidants of team owner Dan Snyder have started exploring the prospect of building the team a new stadium on the RFK site. Council-member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2) and lame-duck Williams have tacitly endorsed the idea, with Williams noting: I’ve talked to him [Snyder] a couple…

D.C. law prohibits such proximity, but the bill will allow exceptions for businesses in commercial areas.It’s been a…

Hey, D.C., are you like us? Does this odd time of year, when the days are shorter but we have yet to switch back off of Daylight Savings Time (that’ll be Oct. 29 at midnight, in case you’re wondering) and it’s still dark in the morning when you wake up, leave you feeling a little discombobulated? We suspect the change in light might be responsible for a lot of people we’ve noticed feeling grumpy and…

A splendid morning to you, dear District. Looks like it’ll be a nice sunny day, if a little chilly, with highs only reaching the mid-50s. It’s also that day where one should watch out for broken mirrors and black cats crossing paths: Friday the 13th. Whatever you do, watch out for mummies being sold on Ebay, too. D.C. Taxis May Become Metered: Yeah, you’ve heard that one before. There may be some truth to…

If you do, or just enjoy hearing them, you may want to attend the Roast of Anthony Williams on October 18th at the Marriott Wardman Park.
