You just read the headline and sub-heds for a story in the Metro section of last Sunday's (August 15, 2010) issue of the ink-on-dead-trees edition of The Washington Post. It led the front page of a section charged with reporting important District of Columbia news. It did so only four weeks until a local election, featuring a Post-endorsed young mayor who seems to think DC's treasury is his personal piggybank for friends--though you wouldn't necessarily know much about that from the meager space devoted to Mayor Adrian Fenty's alleged transgressions. But I digress.
