A roundup of what I've been reading:
- Michael (who I don't link to nearly enough, although he's on the sidebar) takes the MARC train and discovers Soviet Realism in the service of Neocon Fantasy.
- It looks like I'm on the Team Fenty media list for good. Decision: keep stalking the clown at his meetings, or move on to public events of the other possible candidates? 17 months is a long time to tag along with this jerk.
- These new crosstown bus routes could be a lifesaver. There is no good reason why a trip from Union Station to Georgetown shouldn't be a one-seat affair. Let's see if they run on time.
- D.C. firefighters are engaged in a battle over whether they should be allowed to sport beards due to risk of improperly sealing masks. A substantive dispute ends in farce when an ACLU lawyer claims that African-Americans' curlier hair causes more ingrown hairs for regular shavers and thus a "disparate impact" on black firefighters who are forced to shave.
- Congrats to N.M. for her new job. Scowls to N.M. for getting to go to Boston and catching an Ad Frank show while I'm on the Internet drinking coffee and rubbing my eyes.
- Now that they've killed the Montgomery County board charged with designing sex-ed guidelines, are MoCo's well-hidden fundies going after evolution next?
