Polar Bear Update
http://dcist.com/2008/09/17/greenpeace_takes_responsibility_for.php
Greenpeace and some street artist have taken responsiblity for the polar bears, apparently their "plight" is similar to the homeless... or something... anyway, the man makes SCULPTURES OUT OF TAPE.
BHAC reminds you that people who make sculptures out of tape are the precise reason that some of us left art school. Because someone's senior thesis was to run a roll of tape around the building. And also, someone else's senior thesis was to arrange hundreds of little toy bunnies in a circle.

Oh, DC. You're so efficient.
So, I got protested on my way into work tonight. Quite literally, got the glare face on my way into a govt-type conference cocktail party by a woman holding a sign and wearing ugly shoes.
However, DC called in the friggin BOMB SQUAD due to an extremely suspicious stuffed polar bear outside the Columbia Heights Metro.

And shut down the metro. And the street.
Please go to the NBC site for a photo of the bomb squad approaching the polar bear. Just when I thought today couldn't get ANY stranger.

And we shall call it... Washington. But not to its face.
On this day in the year 1791, our nation's capital (a.k.a. the place where we live) was named. Not a particularly original name, but better than Zuma Nesta Rock, I suppose. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about the occasion:
"A Southern site for the new country's capital was agreed upon at a dinner between James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, hosted by Thomas Jefferson.
The initial city plan was a diamond, measuring ten miles on each side, totaling 100 square miles (260 square kilometers). The actual site on the Potomac River was chosen by President Washington. Washington may have chosen the site for its natural scenery, believing the Potomac would become a great navigable waterway.
The city was officially named "Washington" on September 9, 1791.
Out of modesty, George Washington never referred to it as such, preferring to call it "the Federal City". Despite choosing the site and living nearby at Mount Vernon, he rarely visited."
