Its been a busy week in DC of all sorts so we figured out we'd put our post aggregating hats on and bring you a little digest. Just click on links.
First off- Marion Barry has been very, very busy:
In just the space of a couple of days he got both arrested for stalking (NICE! even though the case seems to already be falling apart at seams, and Barry has already called the accuser "NUTS") and accused of hiring his girlfriend for a position she was uniquely unqualified for. Keep it classy Marion, DC would not be the same without you.
Then, The Real World cast arrived for real, and DCist had more photos than most though twittering about their current location is DC's new favorite past time (catch them eating at Sweetgreen here, yesterday). Libby went on tee-vee and talked about the phenomenon, even, since, you know, we're experts on the topic (or something?).
In other decidedly superficial news we have:
It is time of the year again: vote for your favorite best looking people on the Hill (hint: you get to self-nominate so it is not necessarily the most democratic of selection processes, but it is certainly a fun one)
The tweens are coming! The tweens are coming! And-you're not invited.
In non-superficial news we have:
For the first time ever, you guys, we live in a city/state that recognizes gay marriage.
Obama forgets how he met Michelle.
Al Franken is FINALLY here.
And in "oh, we actually have a mayor" news:
Fenty signs fee bag bill. Remember to bring your reusables.
Feel free to drop your own tips'n'thoughts in the comments.

libby is a fuXXing megastar bitches.
Nothing says political capital of the world like a beauty contest.
I was clearly more popular than Reagan. I served three terms. Where was Reagan? Gone after two! Defeated by George Bush and Michael Dukakis no less.
what's with the brief "fuck you" look at
26 during her introduction?
I saw "Libby" on the local news trashing the real world filming. Where do you live? What kind of PR experience do you have? I live across the street and nothing has changed. Well, not nothing. The production company has created new local jobs, which is terrible. The film crews are showcasing DC to attract more tourists, another travesty for a financially strapped city. Maybe the cast will do something good for a local non-profit, which would be catastrophic. How horrible that popular TV would pay attention to the nation's capital and what we, who live here, are doing to change this country for the better. If people are opposed to spotlighting our city, they should search for more articulate people to speak against it.
