I don’t hold any grudges against the United States Military Academy’s football team. But as a pigskin fan living in our nation’s capital, I’m rooting quite hard for Navy to defeat the Black Knights this afternoon in the annual marquee service academy football game. Why? Well, the match-ups for college football’s corporate-sponsored exhibition cavalcade were mostly finalized late last weekend; with an Army win today, the 2009 EagleBank Bowl at RFK Stadium will feature…
Good morning, Washington. It turns out that House Pages don’t need lecherous congressmen’s help to make scandalous headlines: two have just gotten busted for inappropriate behavior in a House elevator.

The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist’s faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,…
The Masonic House of The Temple on 16th street has always left me with wondering what goes on inside, with its mysterious, and just a little bit intimidating, facade (think in-laid snakes over the doors). As musicmuse_ca captures in this beautiful shot, however, the temple turns out to house one of the oldest libraries open to the public in the D.C. area.
