State of Oblivion? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 MOsanthrope commented on this last Friday, but I still haven't gotten over how Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich could live in this universe and not be aware -- or be warned -- that his appearance on The Daily Show might have been intended for humorous purposes.

Wise Weingarten 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Until now, I have only mentioned Gene Weingarten in passing, but I think that he and Joel Achenbach are the best things about the Post.Gene's weekly column, Below the Beltway, is teriffic -- but the best thing are his weekly chats, in which he and his audience occasionally direct me to internet wonders such as this and this.More importantly, this week, Gene confirmed that the only proper response to the person reclining their airline seat in front of you is passive-aggressiveness:Gene Weingarten: . . . . I believe it is never acceptable to recline your seat in the plane, unless no one is seated behind you, or it is the middle of the night and everyone is asleep. No degree of incline is acceptable. When someone does this to me, I engage in a war of knee jabs. And I always resist the urge to recline my own seat to get away from this assault. That is only passing on the rudeness. And FYI, Gene also expressed marvel at the DC Metro Anagram Map, discussed here last week.I just wish he had
DC Food Sites 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I generally go to Tom Sietsema for restaurant reviews and the Going Out Gurus for info about the DC bar scene. But here's an interesting blog about both. Read more:Sites
My dog ate my homework 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Actually, I had a dog in law school -- her name was Hailee -- that ate a hole in my bathroom lineoleum, a Soul Asylum CD, and a bowl of Easter candy. She didn't bark, though -- so things could have been worse.Here's a NY times article about bad dog behavior and a book devoted to a dog that couldn't possibly be as bad as mine.
Insert Gay Cowboy Joke Here 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Justin already blogged about the Willie Nelson gay cowboy song and Brokeback to the Future, but today the New York Times ran an article about the various Brokeback Mountain spoofs available on the internet. Read more:Cowboy

Don't forget to vote! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 As previously indicated, the Oscars-related poll will close on Sunday.Cast your vote now!
And the winner is . . . 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In last week's poll, you thougt that Brokeback Mountain would win the most Academy Awards tonight.Through no fault of my own, it turned out to be a trick question. Four of the ten choices -- Crash, King Kong, Brokeback Mountain, and Memoirs of a Geisha -- tied, with each winning three Oscars.In the meantime, in the new weekly poll, feel free to comment on Jon Stewart's job as Oscar host.

It's the 1st annual blah blah blog post-Oscars rundown! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 1) Reviews were mixed on Jon Stewart: the Post's TV critic hated him, the Associated Press was indifferent, but he got a good review from the Post's film critic and his online chat audience. One thing's for sure: The ratings stunk.2) The actor and actress contests were quite predictable, but no one really thought that Crash would win. Most people thought Brokeback Mountain was a shoo-in.3) The New York Times provides helpful hints for displaying your Oscar and a reminder to pay your taxes on your gift basket.4) Here's the scoop on the action behind-the-scenes and at the after-parties, and the top quotes of the night.5) For the final word, check out Pink is the New Blog.

in my neighborhood:At least one gunman, and possibly two, attacked an armored car guard at the Pentagon
City mall in Arlington this afternoon and got away with an undisclosed amount of money, police said.No one was injured in the robbery, during which shots were fired.***In the corridor behind the bank, there was a struggle with one or two suspects during which a bag of money was taken from one of the guards and a weapon fired.

It's Still Hard Out Here For A Pimp 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Despite all of the post-Oscar buzz, not everyone is a fan of the Three 6 Mafia. Apparently, the song is seen by many as exploiting negative stereotypes.

Project Runway Winner 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Chloe won ProjectRunway
!On the most part, I agreed with the judges.Of the three runway shows, Chloe's collection was definitely the most beautiful and sophisticated -- and had the most continuity -- but I couldn't help thinking that, while Daniel's line was less glamorous, it showed much more versatility and ingenuity. Plus, he even designed his own handbags! Throughout the show, he and Nick were my favorites.Santino used some beautiful fabrics, but I agreed with the judges that it was uncharacteristically sedate and that nothing seemed to fit exactly right.
