Good morning, Washington. We know how it is, the week before a major holiday when you’ve probably got travel plans — Friday can’t come soon enough. There’s only two full work days left to go before you get to walk out that office door and do a little dance of joy, but in the meantime, we’ll do our best to distract you from that increasingly nagging feeling that you might soon completely lose your…

>> More than 302 vehicles, most of them with Maryland or Virginia registration, currently have 26 or more outstanding parking tickets in the District that add up to more than $1.1 million in fines. A testament to the inefficiency of the city’s ability to collect, or the aggressive nature of our parking laws? [WashTimes] >> A judge dismissed a lawsuit by Robert Steinbuch (he of Jessica Cutler/Washingtonienne fame) against former Wonkette editor and current…

We’re honestly not quite sure what to make of what looks to be a T-mobile ad that’s popped up on You Tube. Is it a real ad? Something done on spec by a fresh-out-of-film school director? A joke? Jessica Cutler herself isn’t telling yet, but promises to “explain later” in a post on her blog today. Whatever it is, it sure is … weird. And not very well done. We’re shrugging our shoulders, and…

We can hardly believe it’s been two whole years since DCist first began. Seems like it was just yesterday that Big Media Mike Grass was tantilizing us all with the possibility of Jessica Cutler’s bare breast in honor of our official launch. Sigh. The innocence of youth — those were indeed the days. So, what have we learned in our two years of life? To begin with, we’ve finally been potty trained, and now know…

Ahhh, Thursday. First day of the weekend. And a good day to play hooky and watch Trinidad and Tobago (powered by Howard alum Shaka Hislop) take on England at noon. And the news for the day: Controversy Over Terrorism Funds Continues: Local officials feel they were cheated of valuable federal anti-terrorism funds. Federal officials claim that local requests of funds for anti-terror program were ineffective at best. Who should we believe? The Post is…

The District has seen good times in the last few years. Business is booming and neglected properties and neighborhoods are seeing new investment. Crime has plummeted over the past decade, and corruption in the government has faded even as the city’s coffers have filled with new tax revenues. The ebbing of many of the city’s old problems has combined with the election year to place a new and intense focus on fixing the city’s…

Thanks to our friends over at FreeRide, we’ve learned that Sue Palka, Fox 5’s weathercaster, has some fans. More than just fans, though, she has a fansite. Why? According to the site, “She’s smart, she’s sassy, and (we bet) she can drink you under the table. Does she get the weather right? Who cares? It’s always sunny when Sue’s around!” Maybe. But we’ve always been big fans of Michael Gargiulo and Shawn Yancy. Williams Demands…

Written by new DCist contributor David Sullivan. Blogger beware! Thought things were going well for Jessica Cutler? Not exactly. According to reports in today’s Washington Post and on CNN.com, Robert Steinbuch, former beau and co-worker of the Washingtonienne, is seeking unspecified compensation and punitive damages in a lawsuit. For those living in a rabbit hole for the past two years, the two worked together in Senator Mike DeWine’s (R-Ohio) office. Cutler catalogued her sexcapades with…

This post was written by DCist contributor Campbell Roth. Just when you thought premium cable was safe — -HBO refuses to let Jessica Cutler’s 15 minutes tick to an end. The Post’s Lisa de Moraes reports today that the pay channel is developing a sitcom based on the exploits of our infamous Washingtonienne (aka Jessica Cutler), whose blog broadcasted her rarely PG-rated dalliances with D.C. menfolk. Details on the show’s plot are slim, but those…
