Go Home Already: Fresh Faces
- There was an actual fist fight in the Washington Post newsroom on Friday, between Style editor Henry Allen and feature writer Manuel Roig-Franzia, and everyone was racing to get the story today. Washingtonian, City Desk and Fishbowl DC all provide blow-by-blow coverage.

Thank you Cate! Now when I feel compelled to lie to guests of my wanna-be Algonquin Roundtables who ask where did I find such a mahhvelous microsuede ottoman--I will now tell them the truth, that it's from Target. Not Tar-zhay, Target. The one where Cate Blanchett shops. So, that means you can suck it, Bo Concepts!
Looks like "Washington in the 60's" is just 1 x 60, so not a series. There will be a "Washington in the 70's" coming out in February.
These Posties have spirit! Provider One wagers 300 quatloos on the newcomer. Combat to be decided by gym socks filled with manure.
Fist fight in the Post newsroom? Spare me the drama. When you've got the Talking Heads heiress Katharine Weymouth running the show, it doesn't surprise me that box-wine heir Manuel Roig-Franzia is getting his ass kicked by the Style editor.
Personally I think the Post would benefit from more free-for-alls in the newsroom.
