Tonight was 80′s night at Verizon Center. The Caps beat the Rags 5-4 in overtime. Very exciting game.
Here’s me wearing the free giveaway, a totally rad mullet wig. You’re on notice, propopdan.

I think the Bush administration forgot one.
White House Press Secretary Dana Perino is apparently unfamiliar with the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Appearing on National Public Radio’s quiz show, “Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me,” this weekend, Perino admitted a story she’d previously only shared in private: When a reporter asked her a question during a White House briefing in which he referred to the Cuban Missile Crisis — she didn’t know what it was.
“I was panicked a bit because I really don’t know about . . . the Cuban Missile Crisis,” said Perino, who at 35 was born about a decade after the 1962 U.S.-Soviet nuclear showdown. “It had to do with Cuba and missiles, I’m pretty sure.”
The exchange was first noted in the Washington Post.
“I came home and I asked my husband,” she said on air. “I said, ‘Wasn’t that like the Bay of Pigs thing?’ And he said, ‘Oh, Dana.’ ”

Shadow. So named because that’s what you always were. My shadow. I’ll miss you, buddy. :(
My apologies to everyone following me on Twitter tonight, for all the sad tweets. Thanks for all the kind words.
A bit of the transcript:
We have either a president who is too dishonest to restrain himself from invoking World War Three about Iran at least six weeks after he had to have known that the analogy would be fantastic, irresponsible hyperbole — or we have a president too transcendently stupid not to have asked — at what now appears to have been a series of opportunities to do so — whether the fairy tales he either created or was fed, were still even remotely plausible.
A pathological presidential liar, or an idiot-in-chief. It is the nightmare scenario of political science fiction: A critical juncture in our history and, contained in either answer, a president manifestly unfit to serve, and behind him in the vice presidency: an unapologetic war-monger who has long been seeing a world visible only to himself.
