stuff to do
Think tanks have this magical ability to fix all the evil in the world, just by thinking. This week they solve the Middle East crisis (ABOUT TIME) and explain how the financial crisis has affected everyone from children to small animals to the newest crop of starving, underpaid/unpaid interns in DC. And the Heritage Foundation [...]
This week for our think tank round up, we are on our knees praying that Cheney doesn’t make another guest appearance at AEI. Last week’s speech didn’t help him, or America, or even AEI for that matter (shouldn’t they be trying to rebuild their reputation after their failed love affair with the neocons?). At least [...]
Wednesday, May 20: We thought we’d lay off the Heritage Foundation this week, but because they’re so stubbornly anti-any new policy, it seems as if we have no other choice. This week’s “Good God if only McCain were President” event/wake focuses on Cuba, land of sinister 1950s tropical communists.
Some organizations choose to support research about infectious diseases. Others fight to end poverty and stop violence. But then there’s Häagen-Dazs, the little ice cream company that could, fighting the most important and meaningful fight of all. They are fighting to save the honey bees, and you can help save the bees, by eating free [...]

It sucks when real holidays and artificial holidays occur on the same day, because then you face far too many opportunities to eat and drink at cheap prices. LIFE IS SO HARD. Today is both Cinco de Mayo and First Tuesday in Adams Morgan. So you can dust off your sombrero, drink really cheap margaritas, pretend [...]
Your weekly think tank event round up: Monday, May 4: Obama’s smart and all, but someone should really tell him that all his ideas just suck. Thank God for the Heritage Foundation. Today at 1PM they enlighten us as to why green jobs won’t jump start the economy and that what we really need are [...]
Wednesday, April 29: For those of you who weren’t able to get a free cone from Ben and Jerry’s last week (damn long lines), Baskin Robbins is giving you the opportunity to have almost free ice cream: tonight you can enjoy a small scoop of any flavor for just 31 cents and the proceeds go [...]
Yes, DC has lots of think tanks and no, no one really knows why they are so special, or if all that highfalutin “thinking” really makes a difference. But some actually have interesting events and oftentimes serve “light refreshments” — little sandwiches, or maybe off-brand cookies — and if you’re really lucky they may even [...]
