Likewise, sometimes the Other isn’t a cool countercultural rebel who puts a thrill up your leg, he is a monster who wants to suck your blood or, if he is technologically savvy and has a religious ax to grind, blow up your kids’ school bus.” Dracula: the Western world’s first Islamic jihadist.

* Sincerely, please treat yourself to the vodka and vampire lair that is Russia House. [DCist]
* “Why are there so many ‘cunty’ women in DC?” And this, more puzzling complaint: “Bartenders who have no power in life and therefore abuse what little power they have over the distribution of alcohol. I just want a beer bitch. And no, you won’t get a tip from me.” [Attention Span of a Fly]

America’s crazy uncle who won’t shut up is at it again, and this time he’s insulting U.S. vampires by denigrating their patron saint, Dracula.
