DC Blogs Noted
The writer of Capitol Hill 20210 arrives home to find a person sitting next to her apartment door. She runs outside and calls the police. The follow-up post: After last night’s incident, I really understand why people distrust the police. [Update: These two posts have been removed.]
Columbia Heights Day was a disappointment, writes Creative DC. It didn’t have the arts of Adams Morgan Day, but there was a giant rabbit. Photo. Mr T in DC’s photostream.
The nonmainstream media offers its take on Sarah Palin, you betcha, beginning with conversation with myself by The Other Lisa (Formerly of womenhavingitall). If you want to see a film clip of a real legend of the West, Maverick, see Herb of DC. Nice little theme song. Jason’s View from DC: I must admit I find Sarah Palin’s voice and mannerisms to be unbearable. Fifth and Oh checks out some Alaskan politics blogs and discovers: Palin Fading in…Alaska? Regarding Palin’s Joe Sixpack reference, NotionsCapital points out that Sen. McCain’s wife controls the third largest Anheuser-Busch distributorship in the U.S.
Gunfire in Adams Morgan Saturday draws multiple accounts. The writer at The Winding Road hears four to five shots not 10 feet from where he was standing. Some people scatter, some take cover, but this writer doesn’t move. Occidental Israeli hears gunshots and looks out the window.
The week ahead: Georgetown braces for more anti-IMF protests. Vox Populi

Wow. It’s really too bad that DC Blogs decided to pick up that post as their assessment of Columbia Heights Day. Prince of Petworth, who has 500 google reader subscribers compered to her 50, has a far different assessment. What’s especially troubling is that her negative review was apparently made after barely stopping by — she says she “quickly perused” the festival and then went to Wonderland. Since her review doesn’t even mention AT ALL the main attractions of the festival – cupcake eating contest, live music all day, free food, and a really popular petting zoo that had kids lined up to pet the llama, alpaca and other exotic animals, I can only assume she perhaps had stopped at Wonderland for a little too long BEFORE going to the festival.
Anyway, her main criticism seems to be “it’s not adams morgan day.” Thank god since that is basically a drunken street party and not a community celebration, and it is certainly NOT family oriented. I hope the DC Blogs readers don’t think that this one random blogger’s offhanded review is representative of the festival. Please check out PoP’s post: http://www.princeofpetworth.com/?p=4164
