People say DC is Hollywood for ugly people, but as District fanatics, we take slight offense to that notion – at least most of the time. However, as a city always on the go, it’s hard to look perfect all of the time – especially when your day starts with …

It’s graduation season again and NPR has published a compendium of the best commencement speeches dating back to 1774. You can sort by terms like “YOLO,” or by year and speaker. If it’s got a YouTube video, it’s there for you to watch. This is a good tool to bookmark …
