Council Education Committee Chair David Grosso called for Bowser to remove him.

The Reliable Source scoops everyone with perhaps the first heartwarming story about a former mayor Washington has ever been treated to. Anthony Williams personally stopped a thief on K Street yesterday afternoon. He was apparently walking by when he saw a guy nab a package from a UPS deliverman’s hand truck. Our newly dubbed “Mr. Bow Tie” crime fighting superhero immediately started running after the culprit, catching up with him and getting the stolen package…

Good morning, Washington. Have a good Halloween? We have to admit, this year’s midweek scheduling kind of put a damper on the holiday’s opportunities for costumed revelry. It didn’t stop us from eating a ridiculous amount of candy, though. Naturally, we feel that the children are to blame: if more kids had stopped by we wouldn’t be stuck with this glut of chocolate and dearth of willpower. Perhaps this is why our childhood neighbors…

On the campaign trail, Adrian Fenty garnered both praise and criticism for his ambitious personality. Depending on who you asked, he was either in over his head, or just the man the city needed to kick progress begun under Tony Williams into high gear. Well, like it or not, so far Mayor Fenty is living up tothe expectations. Seriously, who else would have the audacity to set 200 goals for their first 100 days? Like…

Okay, okay — we know, this is a Nats town now. But it’d be churlish not to congratulate Cal Ripken Jr. on his election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Many Washingtonians regularly made the trek to Camden Yards during his streak, and to them Cal felt as much like a hometown hero as any athlete. So it’s good (if unsurprising) to see Ripken receive the nod. And he did it in style: Ripken’s name…

Well, today’s poll (on how the city ought to deal with the church parking controversy) is certainly not scientific, seeing as how we don’t do the random sample thing, and we don’t know where, exactly, most of the voters live. But whatever constituency our readers fall into, they don’t have much time for proposals to give double parkers a free pass. And they don’t really warm all that much to attempts to find a compromise….

Thursdays seem to bring out the populist in many D.C. politicians, and heading into a sure-to-be contested 2005-2006 mayoral race, one can only think that it serves to shore up a candidate’s credentials and their base of support. It worked for Juan and Eva Peron, at left, who ruled over Argentina from 1946-1955 with high levels of support from the country’s poorest, so why not here? Mayor Williams and the Property Tax: The Post is…

Stadium Re-Naming Moves Forward: DCist reported last week that local pro-democracy activists are pushing to have RFK Stadium, currently searching for a $1.5-$2 million a year corporate sponsor, named the “Taxation Without Representation Field at RFK Stadium.” The initiative’s initial goal was $10,000 by April 3, but overwhelming support for the idea pushed them to up the ante to $20,000 and now $51,000 by April 14, the date of the Nationals home opener against the…
