washington, d.c.
It must be Sweeps Week in another version of reality, as Leon Wieseltier, New Republic‘s ranking number two funny old man with funny old racist ideas, guest stars on All About Steve, a teevee show, to play the head of the FLO, the Freudian Liberation Organization. [DCist]
There will be no outdoor sleepovers the night before Inauguration, which is sexist against hobos. [DCist] D.C. will get a commemorative quarter, just like a real state! The coins will feature Duke Ellington, who, fun fact!, was born in North Carolina. Oh, the city still won’t have a senator or a (real) congressperson. [Washington Post] [...]
SO CLUTCH: Oh you must, Washington D.C., you must let everyone drink until 5 a.m. on Inauguration Day, at your bars. Also: please find a way to sell alcohol at your alcohol stores after 10 p.m. (This is the terrible town we live in, America.) [Shenanigans]
