Last Saturday, my good friend Steph (of Completely Irrelevant) went out to a big ice cream party in some vacant lot. It’s one of those bizarre little things that pop up in DC, in this case to announce a rebranding campaign for Union Market. Everyone got free scoops, which were mostly large (though one scrooge truck gave [...]
That’s right, they’re rebooting Spider-Man again. I know everyone else out there thinks Raimi’s was good, but I hated the mopey Spidey.

“After ‘Don’t Ask” Repeal, Obama Mulls Same-Sex Marriage” I’m hoping he picks Ricky Martin. They’d have such cute chinese babies! I am very happy with the votes taken this week, and if this is how progress happens, I’m happy to give up the house every four years as long as we take it back in [...]
