DC Blogs Noted

Toothless isn’t a word that describes these two writers but in this case it applies. See: Lonnie Bruner (with photos) first and second and DC Bachelor’s report. Thanks to Sweet for this suggestion.

A woman starts yelling at another on the Metro. It’s one of those seemingly random incidents that are part of city life. But it leaves this writer with questions. We pick up the report: The strange part was everyone's reaction, or lack of. No one did anything, not even the girl being harassed.

Velvet in Dupont’s writing is sharp and tough and so is she. So when a city police officer blocks her car in for a 7-11 refill, she’s not shy about asking him to move the cruiser. But her request gets a rude response and now Velvet weighs her next course of action, with the help of many readers. This post was no doubt one of the most popular in the city yesterday, thanks to shoutouts at Wonkette and the Express.
