We’re well into this 2016 election season and it has seriously felt like one big science experiment, but instead of lab rats and monkeys, it’s us – innocent and defenseless human beings. Our principals, ideologies and, especially, our patience continue to be tested by two mad scientists guised as presidential candidates – Donald Trump and …

A weekly segment in which we identify the most “WTF” worthy occurrence in our nation’s capital.  What happened: A man who claimed to be Jesus Christ, the son of John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe drove a truck filled with weapons to D.C. to kidnap Obamas’ dog. Our Reaction: WTF? …

Last night if you were lucky enough to have cable, you witnessed brilliant television. You’ll be missed, Jon Stewart. How could you leave us now? Also on tv was the GOP debate – which was almost as great – but not nearly as brilliant. Two main takeaways from last night: Everyone Still …

A few months ago we would have found this to be weird, but since the earthquake, hurricane, #snOMG, Marion Barry still driving,  and other strange happenings in DC, we find it totally normal. [typical Monday] A five-inch-long baby dinosaur with a short nose, armor and spikes went belly-up and likely …

They’re calling it the Global Pickup Conference – we’re calling it ridiculous. [and slightly creepy] A group of men recently gathered in DC as part of a pick up artist convention. The “pro” pick up artists were tasked with teaching the newbies how to rein in the ladies.  And what …

Bob Woodward’s best work might have been 38 years ago, but that doesn’t mean his ability to speculate is dated.
