His ass is Grass
As some of you have undoubtedly already found out, DCist Editor Mike Grass is leaving the site. Why he would give up his esteemed position as the city's premier blog-party emcee, I'll never know, but he seems to think it's a good idea to draw a steady paycheck from this "MSM" I've heard so much about.
Specifically, Mike now forges National Guard memos for the Washington Post Co. and works on the local pages of its free commuter daily, Express. Look for his byline: there will likely be less Jennifer 8. Lee gossip, but his particular brand of practically-minded and historically-informed local coverage, which began with the Washington Oculus back in '03, will surely translate well to actual paper.
Good luck, Mike. And please smack Krauthammer if you pass him in the hallways.
