Working at the Washington Times sounds about twice as fun as any other media gig we can think of. Whether your boss is threatening violence: MORE »

FishbowlDC is concluding its “Rising Star” contest. We’re not entirely clear on what the contestants were competing for, or what qualifies one as a rising star, but it seems to involve internet polls. And, naturally, massive voter fraud. As can be expected, it quickly became a popularity contest, with someone from something called “Two Mundos Magazine” duking it out with Kara Rowland, an attractive metro reporter from that bastion of respectable journalism, the Washington Times.

As the polls close, it looks like Kara’s gonna take it. Kara won! What put her over the edge? Her work on September 11 widows? Her series on utility regulations in Maryland? Sure, that shit’s ok, but we think it just might’ve been the Facebook picture we’ve attached after the jump.

The New York Times today tries to explain to its liberal, godless readers why they don’t need to listen to or believe Insight, the Rev. Moon-funded magazine so awesomely crazy that even the Washington Times is embarrassed to be connected to it. MORE »

On the off chance anybody is working in DC today, here’s something to do that’s more work-safe than cruising Casual Encounters: an hourlong video about Washington’s Favorite Newspaper Publisher and King of the Universe, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon! MORE »

George Archibald, former Washington Times man, has a lengthy and entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the recent ouster at that venerable paper of Washington Times Corp. Vice President Jonathan Slevin. From there, Archibald goes into a rich history of smoking weed with Fran Coombs, Moonies vs. unreconstructed confederates, and, because this is the Times, perverts: MORE »

Washington Times perv Randall Casseday had the misfortune to be caught just days before Mark Foley ushered in our fondly-remembered Cocktober. In case you don’t remember (and who’d blame you), Casseday was the director of Human Resources for the unread but beloved right-wing paper, until he was fired for attempting to meet underage girls for illegal sexing. We did solicit reports of his creepy behavior at the Times, but the most we could get was that he enjoyed telling everyone what everyone else was making and alerting people to firings and promotions before they happened. Also, he was kinda creepy. MORE »

It takes courage in the face of adversity — along with “Yikes, We’re All Crazy Moonies! — to declare victory in Iraq a few hours after Henry Freakin’ Kissinger says he “doesn’t believe that is possible.” But that’s why we love the Washington Times. MORE »

Hey guys! The Washington Times is getting its very own strip club! MORE »

We missed it yesterday during non-stop Cocktober Surprise coverage, but there’s an update on our old, busted perv from last week: MORE »

Well, that was fun while it lasted. But according to our favorite paper, PageFuckerGate is officially over now. Why, Mark Foley hardly did anything wrong! Other than being homosexual, which is basically the same as bestiality or incest. MORE »

Our good buddy Max Blumenthal has an update to his Washington Times story, mostly about Randall Casseday, former HR director for the WT who was arrested in a federal sting this week for attempted kiddie-fucking. The story: former Times flack Melissa Hopkins was the lucky recipient of the unwanted affections of Managing Ed Fran Coombs (male, despite name). After the ol’ “come up to my hotel room for a nightcap” bit, Fran pulled the always-successful “force yourself on her in a taxi” routine.

Enter the pedophile, after the jump.
