What I get for posting without reading DCist first
If it didn't rain this morning, I would have taken the Metro to National and got an Express from a hawker. Then, I wouldn't have been 14 hours late in knowing that I made the paper.
What I like so much about the reference (it's a PDF I'm having trouble copying and pasting from) is that it's so nonchalant about this site and the loathsome list because, you know, everybody knows about it. Have I reached the point of ubiquity? Complete market saturation?
I really need to work on my neck muscles. Every time something like this happens, my ego gets too big to be supported by these tired shoulders. So I'll just go to bed now, and when I wake up, I'll still be broke and anonymous.
PS: Let's just get this straight for the record: DCSOB gives its seal of approval to the Washington Socialities, but enjoys pushing CPMC's buttons. Try not to spill any single-malt scotch on the keyboard, guys.
They are not the same. Are we clear?

So the Washington Socialites made Express, eh? Was this hot young item placed for my benefit? I am, after all, a childless urbanite with some amount of disposable income. My demographics feel so probed. And who would've guessed that the newest sexy blogger(s) would be a bunch of people even more boring than Wonkette?* I'm going to start a blog that consists entirely of text copied from the website of the CFO (cfo.dc.gov) and a running total of the mixed drinks I've expelled into a stranger's toilet (DC only--Arlington toilets don't count.)
* Except for you, SOB. You're much more entertaining than Wonkette.

Did you notice how you were mentioned in the Express because of us?
Ubiquity....we say not.
But, for the record...during the interview with Laura Ewald of the Washington Post Express, The Senator did say, "We would like to take this opportunity to formally thank DCSOB for making us #15 on his Most Loathesome list."

Oh. So now I'm boring. I challenge thee to a boring-off!

Um...it looked to me like you were mentioned to give context to the CPMC, not the other way around.

Being used in context to how quickly/effectively the CPMC made it on to the D.C. blog scene does not equal some kind of Express "shout-out." Your big-headedess is not warranted.
They are not the same. "Are we clear?"

On further reflection, we might hypothesize that WS is only boring to the extent that WS is tainted by CPMC. And this isn't subjective stuff, people. Everyone knows that the tedium of a blog is directly proportional to its average use of the first-person plural.
(We are willing to forgive DCist this faux pas, by the way, because DCist is packed with content--not just dull-as-a-spoon reflections on the designer labels we spotted on the Red Line.)
