Suck on that, NYC!!
DC teams went 3-0 against NYC teams.
DC United comes from behind to tie in the last minute and then win in injury time. VAMOS UNITED!
The Caps dominated the Rangers in game 6 of the series to tie it and force a winner take all game 7.
And finally, the lowly, woeful Nats beat the Mets.
Good day for DC teams.

Milady Peggington Noonanshire!
Peggy Noonan - former speechwriter for Ronnie Raygun and G. H. W. "Read my lips" Bush, current columnist for the Wall Street Journal whose entire shtick is breathless wonder of the little people. Her "ouvre" is released on Fridays and as usual Wonkette is there with the scathing, hilarious review.

For F%#$s sake...
DC United stadium deal in PG County is officially dead. NoVA United here we come... or at this rate, St. Louis United.

Today was a good day.
Civil Rights in my time
First, there was Majority Leader of the Iowa Senate explaining why he would not co-sponsor a bill to amend Iowa's constitution to ban gay marriage (in case you missed it, on Friday, the Iowa Supreme Court emphatically ruled that the state gay marriage ban was unconstitutional).
Then, there was the news that Vermont became the 4th state to recognize gay marriage and the 1st to do so legislatively.
Finally, there was the news that the DC city council approved a measure to recognize gay marriages from other states.
Senator Franken
Norm Coleman (political career: Democratic mayor of St. Paul - 1993, Republican Mayor of St. Paul - 1997, beat Walter Mondale by ~3% after the great Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash 11 days before the election to become Senator - 2002) had his last best hope backfire when the last outstanding ballots netted almost 100 more votes for Al Franken. The only thing Norm has left is an appeal to the MN Supreme Court which is not likely to rule in his favor. Yay! Welcome Senator Franken!
Pus Limpbough gets pwned
Next up, lickspittle Rush Limbaugh gets pwned by Marty McFly (around 5:50 of video) and then by a Republican caller to his Hour of Hate (I love how at the end of this exchange, after Pus has hung up on the caller, he basically says, 'That guy said torture was wrong, he definitely wasn't a Republican.' Good job, Pus, that will bring everyone flocking back to the Republican party).
Biden off the leash
It sounds like Biden was given the go ahead to go after Darth Cheney and he didn't disappoint, "...but [Cheney] is dead wrong."
On a more somber note
The right wing echo machine is finally getting some scrutiny in the corporate media following the spate of politically motivated shootings here and here.
Speaking of the media
Maybe they are coming around to the idea that the failed policies of the previous administration are at least partially their fault. The Washington Post discredits one of its own op-ed writers (dumbass George Will) in a story about climate change (although I think it's telling that the bloggers STILL had to correct some errors by the "reporters"). Also, the WSJ pointed out that, hmm, it seems that the current economic collapse was at least partially caused by Bush's tax cuts for the rich. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, people!
So refreshing!
And finally, I've been looking at pics of Obama's European trip and surprise visit to Iraq. The troops seem to like him.
Oh yeah
In case you missed it, the same Spanish judge who brought Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet to justice is looking into charging 6 former Bush administration officials with war crimes.
