How much fun was last night’s Washington Times 25th anniversary rave? The sexy action got so hot that a fire alarm went off and BFFs George H.W. Bush 41 and Reincarnated Jesus H. Christ Reverend Sun Myung Moon were forced to briefly evacuate the party, along with the other 1,500 Moonies and WashTimes employees. MORE »
The Washington Times today offers sad insight into the miserable lives of all 16 of their regular “readers.” Here are two particuarly tragic examples: MORE »
Listen up, haters: The Moonie Times is not a jingoistic right-wing propaganda sheet. In fact, the almost-25-year-old paper actually HATES AMERICA. By our calendar, the Moonies launched the fringe publication in 1982 — you know, the peak of the Ronald Reagan era in Washington? MORE »
Former President George H. W. Bush will deliver the keynote address at a ceremony honoring the Washington Times’ 25th birthday this May.

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 »
