SO OKAY ITS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND THIS IS SORT OF FUNNY... Top NYT political reporter Adam Nagourney gives us a tantalizing taste of what he likes to do for fun, with this piece on DC for the NYT's Escapes section.
Ever wondered what Nagourney thinks about the 9:30 Club? He loves it! Although its in a "dicey neighborhood", he says it "attracts an eclectic roster of bands -- think Wilco and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah," and that it has "great sound" and "heaps of personality." All in all, "one of the best places in the country to see a show."
Nagourney also recommends Al Crostino for a pre-show dinner, but says to make sure to "tell the waiter you have a 9:30 to catch." Damn, this guy knows all the angles! He also suggests having a drink at the bar at Zaytinya, and writes fondly of "tak[ing] a bath in one of its huge martinis." Quite an image.
As for the townhouses of Georgetown: "Some friends and I could hardly contain ourselves when we visited a $2.5 million, one-bedroom town house that had a mahogany paneled bathroom and a jungle-canopy bed."
I really have nothing to add to this.

I know this is not directly related to this discussion, but I thought it was important to point out that there is a new draft movement developing up to get Professor Jeffrey Sachs to run for president. The website for the campaign is
www.SachsForPresident.org
It is time for a new set of priorities in America. Today, our country is in great need of true leadership and vision. We believe that professor Jeffrey D. Sachs of Columbia University is someone who can deliver. He is a man of great knowledge, experience and integrity. That is why we are working to convince him to run for president of the United States in 2008.
Please check us out, and if you are interested, help.

DC is perhaps the lamest shitkicker town trying to masquerade as a city. I've never seen so many bow-ties, pearls and sweater sets, and so many people drinking so much bad beer from cans.

Dicey neighborhood? I live across the street, jerko, and it's not 'dicey' those are called BLACK PEOPLE. Just because there are people hanging out on their front stoops (no, not their front porches like in Tenleytown, the front stoop) and yes, the odd homeless person asking for change, doesn't make it dicey. It even has a name "Little Ethiopia" I've lived there for 2 years, and neither I, nor any of my friends coming to visit me, have ever had any problems on the street. Of course, I've been mugged (downtown) and been close to a murder (in Georgetown)
Yeah, it's a city. but there is no more street crime at 9th and U than at 18th and Columbia, where condos are twice the price.

Well, northzax, perhaps Adam has been mugged on your street, what with his "Aren't I daring and iconoclastic coming here?" expression being so inviting and all. Hell, I'd have a go at him myself if he showed up in my neighborhood.
Posted by: shortstop on August 25, 2006 at 3:59 PM | PERMALINK
well, coming from NY (with our infinitesimal crime rate), almost every D.C. neighborhood is "dicey." seriously.

Zachary Roth asked: "Ever wondered what Nagourney thinks about the 9:30 Club?"
No. But when I saw Lucinda Williams perform there last year, she said it was one of the last great rock & roll clubs in the country and one of her two favorite places to play, the other being the Fillmore.
And it's not a "dicey" neighborhood, it's a cool neighborhood. After Lucinda's show I walked down the street and had dinner at a little Ethiopian restaurant, where a great local Ethiopian band was playing -- don't know who they were, just some local guys. Ethiopian music is incredible, the rhythms are insane and driving and irresistable.
And Nagourney is a phony hack, I don't care what he thinks about anything. Look him up on The Daily Howler some time.

Well, way back when I was in high school in the early 80s, the 9:30 was a great club, and believe me, in the early 80s it WAS in a dicey neighborhood. Now, it is veritably posh.
Posted by: lisainvan on August 25, 2006 at 4:24 PM | PERMALINK
Yeah, the dicey neighborhoods around here aren't what they used to be. Hell, they're putting the new ballpark smack dab in the middle of one of them, and that's gonna squeeze the diciness right out of it.
Time was, people used to cruise 14th street just to gawk at the hookers. No longer. Capitol hill is expensive and desirable now, and that spreads one or two blocks further from the capitol each year. And the gay folks - some of the best gentrifiers around, God love 'em - have been priced out of Dupont and are busily gentrifying the Logan circle area.
Another few decades and you'll have to cross the Anacostia to find a bad neighborhood at all.
Well, or that would be the case if we weren't going to finally reap the whirlwind for Republican economic "policy".

That was the original Nightclub 9:30 at 930 F Street. It was a much smaller place and more like a real club than the new one which is huge and more like a concert venue. We used to call it the Dirty Thirty. The walls were all painted black and they had big TV screens around the place showing weird experimental films. I saw some great shows there. Two shows by the band Grace Pool circa 1990 stand out in my memory, a really great band that put out two albums that were hits on college radio. I think the last show I saw there was the Razz reunion.

I thought his most telling mistake was calling "Penn Quarter" a "vibrant neighborhood". I don't know anyone who isn't a realtor who calls Chinatown "Penn Quarter", and if you ask me, a "vibrant neighborhood" should have at least a hardware store or a grocery store. He also wrote a travelguide to DC a few months ago for the Times, and it read like he'd never been anywhere between the Capitol and Rock Creek Park.
I've lived on V Street, a few blocks from the new 930, since 2001. It is a little dangerous around there, regardless of what the boosters say, but even so, he may not be as brave as the 19 year unaccompanied girls I see wandering around all the time. New York doesn't have crime anymore, so when they come to DC, we need to look out for them the way we look out for Europeans. Or Nebraskans.
Posted by: JimDC on August 25, 2006 at 5:01 PM | PERMALINK
The Black Cat has a terrible sound system (like most clubs in DC). The 9:30 Club is okay, but they generally are about 1-3 years behind in terms of scheduling. The Fillmore and Great American Music Hall are both much better clubs. Bottom of the Hill, Gilman Street in the Bay Area and Metro, Park West and The Vic in Chicago all have more character and stronger mix of acts -- large and small. DC is not a good music town. In fact it's really not a good town if you care anything about being current or even slightly relevant. Or think that true music cities mix influences across genres and are actual incubators for the next big thing.

DC is a great music town, if you forget about the "relevancy" and "next big thing" and paying $50 to see some flock-of-haircuts kids rehashing The Who or The Velvet Underground, and go into a little tiny funky neighborhood bar like JV's Restaurant and see some of the best musicians in the world like Billy Hancock's band with Steve Wolf on bass, Dave Chappell on guitar, Bruce Swaim on sax and Barry Hart on drums on a Tuesday night, with no cover, cheap beer and a bunch of redneckish locals hanging around the place. That's real rock & roll.

washington, DC craigslist > men seeking men
If the weather is nice, explore Georgetown, a historic neighborhood of narrow tree-lined streets, some still with cobblestones, and historic homes and churches. And the best way to see Georgetown is to get lost there. Wander the streets randomly, notice the pleasing details of the Federal houses and, if the need arises, spot what passes for a celebrity in Washington. (Yes, that probably is the senator or television correspondent you think it is.) Keep an eye out for Open House signs: its a great way to see the hidden Georgetown. Just walk right in for a completely authorized inside look at Washington parlors and excesses. Some friends and I could hardly contain ourselves when we visited a $2.5 million, one-bedroom town house that had a mahogany paneled bathroom and a jungle-canopy bed.
Definitely Best of CL material!

Jeeze folks, I could have made use of all this insider D.C. knowledge a few weeks ago when I was there for a conference
As it was I spent too much time inside air conditioned space cause it was ~100F & I didn`t feel like just wandering around to find stuff...

Considering where D.C. has come from -- when I arrived in 1970, it still had a veneer of a provincial government town, not a diverse major metropolis -- it's come a long, long way. Its growth has been fueled by Metro, which simply revolutionized the city just as the subway changed New York in the first half of the 20th century. There's so much building going on that the construction crane should be the District's official bird, and the return of baseball was the final piece needed in Washington's cultural puzzle (and helps make humid summers bearable).
All this has happened over a few decades, making D.C. sort of an east coast Los Angeles in the rapidity of its growth -- and such growth should continue in the metro area over the ensuing decades. Is the city still finding itself? Sure, but Washington is now closer than ever to a first-rank U.S. city, up there with N.Y., Chicago and L.A.

Not to be too serious or anything, but I think that Nagourney's attitude here raises some serious questions about the nature of our press corps and their relationship to American society.

The Roy Lichtenstein painted house at the National Gallery of Art's Sculpture Garden *IS* fantastic and makes my 'high-points-in-DC' list. You have to walk by it keeping your eyes on it the entire time to capture the genius -- It pops from flat aluminum to 3-D and transforms a few times in the 180 degree pass by.
And the monuments by night -- also fantastic.
While you're in the vicinity of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, check out Einstein across the street with the heavens at his feet.
AdNags -- pompous! and about half-right.

And miss the new one. What makes it the best is the size of venue to quality of acts (at their best).

Indictment.
You despise men of faith because you despise the word !
You despise the word because you despise your creator !
You depise your creator because he expects you to follow laws and statutes, things that define an individual as man rather than beast !
But you want to lead selfish and degenerate lives,immoral filth that you are , so you have become God haters and you have forfeited your right to be defined as human, you are now mere apes !
Your hearts are black,calloused sores, your eyes are blind ;dark and sordid worm holes !
You are already dead, you know that this is not a life.
Everyday you die,only to wake the next morning and commit the same acts of self-destruction and feel the pain of death upon you again.
For those who wanted to break this vicious cycle,who want to be liberated from the chains of sin that are dragging you deeper into hell with each passing day, who want true life because your sick of what you've seen,go to ;

Dale Johnsen: "Throughout Yah'shua' life (JesusChrist' life) on earth, He obeyed all of God's law perfectly. Of all the 613 commands [in the Mosaic code], He obeyed every single one that applied to Him. He is the only One who ever did this. Thus, through His perfectly sinless life, fulfilled the law on behalf of a sinful human race which was unable to keep it."
YAH'SHUA(Jesus Christ) DID NOT BRING A NEW RELIGION.
To state that the Messiah did not bring a new religion almost feels like stating the
obvious. Sadly though there seem to be many that think that is exactly what He did
do. Why is that?
A misunderstanding of what Torah is, is the basis of this idea. Also the mixing of
pagan worship into Messianic teaching has led to a religion that is entirely different
to the teaching given to Moses. The Messiah(Yah'shua;known to most in the west by the latinized name of Jesus.We only use his correct Hebrew name, the name given by God to his only begotten son) followed the Law of Moses perfectly.
The Torah (law) given to Moses was a Living Law that was put in motion by YHWH.
Following that law was designed to give the whole nation of Israel a life of peace,
prosperity and joy. Please understand this Torah Lives, like the law of gravity it is in
motion all the time. You cannot change the law of gravity, you cannot change Torah.
Only YHWH can modify His Torah. Torah was the terms of the Covenant with Israel
(all 12 tribes) Yah'shua(Jesus Christ) brought us a Renewed Covenant out of Love, the basic
Torah was not changed. His death on the stake brought us forgiveness for breaking
Torah, if we accept His shed Blood for forgiveness, repent and are baptised.
With the laying on of hands following baptism we receive the Ruach Ha Qodesh (Set
Apart Spirit), why do we need the Ruach Ha Qodesh?
Without the Ruach Ancient Israel was unable to live by Torah, they backslid all the
time, the Ruach is given to us, upon repentance and baptism, to help us to live
by Torah and to lead us into all Truth.
Before we can repent properly we first have to know what we need to repent of.
The Pharisaical Judaism that Messiah complained about has Talmudic teachings that
are not Torah any more than Modern day,westernized 'Christianity' is. That is why they needed to repent, not
because Yah'shua Ha Mashiach brought a new religion. HE did NOT!

Sermon and declaration of Crusade ( holy war) in Britain. Issued by the Lions of Yah'shua in alliance with the brothers in the Army of God and Phinehas Priesthood in the U.K
My christian brothers and sisters;
The execution of the infidel , is a gift to you the world over.
It is a declaration to the heathen , permissive , dissolute and irreverant savages with whom we have been both deceived and mercilessly coerced into accepting as our compatriots,( by the satanic empirialists that govern this once great nation of ours) ; that we will no longer idly accept the degradation of our glorious faith.
What a squalid little husk this nation of great britain as become when compared to the land that was given by God (Yahweh)to our fore-fathers.This is a nation whose soil is pervaded by the blood of martyrs;who died for the principles that once made this country the most advanced , powerful , moralizing and civilized nation on the face of the earth.our martyrs died for the values that the heavenly father has revealed to us through the mouths and written words of his holy prophets, in his glorious gift to man kind ; the holy bible.
The lord taught us that there can be no society without order; and there can be no order without law.I am not talking about the collection of arbitrary, impotent and spurious laws ; that this secular society imposes ( or in the case of the faithful , attempts to impose ) upon us..Secular law is nothing more than a conglomerate of of limp wristed , left-wing propagander excerps. They have been contrived by a coterie of lesbian feminists , freemasons, gay rights activists , the multi-cultural parasites of globalized capitalism and myriad other scandalizers of this nations ( britain) vulnerable and impressionable youth.This afore mentioned coterie of demons have found that the most efficacious tactic in regard to waging their terrorist campaign against the last bastions of traditional values, is by hijacking the modern phenomenon of of a multi-media society.They have proceeded to mutilate what had the partential to be an instrument of the commendable ideals of education, communication and understanding ; into nothing more than a conduit for smut and profanity , alien creeds and concepts, disrespect for authority and others, and the most heinous crime of all ; the crime of blasphemy.
This legion of the condemned as helped swallow up a once decent , cohesive nation and as spat out a malignant rabble in it's stead.This rabble possesses nothing but malice and scorn for anything deemed to be pure and without covert motive.They regard nothing as sacred other than their self-gratifying, consumerist mantra , of ; 'do what thou will ' and their perceived right to so called ; 'freedom of speech'.This so called freedom of speech is ; in reality , nothing more ( and indeed nothing less) than a government sanctioned mandate to act as social iconoclasts; denegrating , scurrilizing and ultimately ( in it's insidious manner), to destroy the values, beliefs and principles which were once held with the deepest regard by this nation .They seek to replace these standards with an anarchistic , darwinistic, dog -eat-dog society.Let he who as eyes see and he who as ears hear ,this is the truth face this satanic mish-mesh of selfisfh and unscrupulous apes , that now occupy this land of ours.
The infidel is a product of this society, which is being held captive to the spells and illusions created ; and cast by secularist so called laws, which are in fact no laws at all.The infidel does the will of this society , which in turn does the will of it's master ; Satan.In the architype of their master (Satan), the infidel is a blasphemer, a liar, a corruptor and a false prophet..
In their insane arrogance and delusions of grandeur , they have fixed their beady ,black eyes upon the kingdom of heaven.They open their mouths ; thoughs cradles of death and deceit , against it's majestic, holy and mighty king, the king that reigns supreme for ever and ever amen.With ravenous hatred they degradate the crowned prince of glory as he patiently awaites his time to make his enermies his foot-stool.
The infidel believes that they ( mere apes) , can show such reprehensible insolence with impunity.But thanks be to God(Yahweh) that he as decreed in his righteousness , that the infidel be recompensed with the just penalty for his crimes. The infidel will now recieve the punishment prescribed by God's law , blasphemers are to be rooted out, quelled and erased with immediate effect.We shall do as we are commanded as written in hebrews 12:15 , we quote hebrews 10:26-30 'if we deliberatley keep on sining after we have received the knowledge of the tuth, no sacrifice for sins is left,but only a fearful expectation of judgement and of raging fire that will consume the enermies of god.Anyone that rejected the law of moses died without mercy on the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses.How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who as trampled the son of God under foot, who as treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covernant that sanctified him and who as insulted the spirit of grace'.
We also remind you of the words of christ in regard to corruptors ' things that cause others to sin are bound to come , but woe to him through whom they come. It would be better for him to have a large mill-stone tied around his neck and to be drown in the sea, than to be allowed to cause one of these little ones who believes in me , to sin' . Christ also likens false prohets to bad trees which are to be 'cut down and thrown into the fire' , in other words ; executed.
To conclude this aspect of the sermon , we now remind you of the words spoken by saint Paul in romans 1:18-32 , when he speaks of godless men and the fate that awaits them ; 'the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God as made it plain to them.For since the creation of the world Gods invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what as been made, so that men are without any excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither gloryfied him as God nor gave thanks to him,but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.Although they claimed to be wise,they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal men and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over to the sinful desires of their hearts, to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.They exchanged the truth of God for a lie,and worshipped and served created things rather than the creator-who is forever praised , amen.
Because of this,God gave them over to shameful lusts.Even thier women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.Men committed indecent acts with other men,and receive in themselfs the just penalty for thier perversion.
Furthermore,since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.They have become filled with every kind of wickedness,evil, greed and depravity.They are full of envy,murder, strife, deceit and malice.They are gossips, slanderers, god-haters,insolent, arrogant and boastful;they invent ways of doing evil;they disobey thier parents;they are senseless, faithless,heartless, ruthless.Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these every things, but also approve of those that practise them'.
We now proceed to give a synopsis of our paramount aims.
We are sworn to bring this nation back under Gods(Yahweh) law(or to die trying) and to bring the following into practise ;
The complete abolition of abortion and the execution of those that violate that ban .
To bring about capital punishment for the following crimes ; blasphemy, murder, rape, paedophilia,bestiality , the propagation of homosexuality,cross dressing,the practise of the black arts, abduction , and proven accounts of adultary and all sexual immorality.
We believe that the mode of execution to be employed by the state , should be in the form prescribed by the mosaic civil code and by christ ;execution by stoning,drowning , beheading or death by fire,(false prophets being likened to bad fruit trees which are to be cut down and thrown into the fire).
Imprisonment for the distribution and retail of contraception , robbery and the dishonour of elders.
We believe in public flogging for anti-social behaviour and petty crime.We also advocate the reintroduction of the corporal punishment into our nations schools ( it's time to take this nation back from the selfish and disrespectful hoodlums that are atrophying it).
We seek the total abolition of the establised church of england.
Why the abolition of the church of england?
The church of england is the bane of the christian movement in this land.It is a humiliating ,cancerous sore on the backs of all true christians.
It as been hijacked and mutilated into nothing more than a mouth piece for the left-wing, who employ it to propagate there own depraved ,liberal agenders. The arch-bishop of canterbury himself describes himself as a bearded ' welsh-lefty'.
The spurious brand of 'religion' that the C of E racket , in no way represents the true character of the faith or the christ ,nor their tenets .The C of E is the popinjay for the likes of peter tatchel ( activist pursuing the so called 'right' for homosexuals to spread thier corruptive influence unopposed) , germaine greer ( who like all feminists has the primary objective of destroying the traditional and biblically instituted family unite of a father , mother and children), and to propagate subjugation to the armies of the islamic barbarian at the gates of our nation.
They have utterly and mercilessly mutilated the christian faith inorder to make it conform to their debauched left-wing conspiracy.They have ,without mitigation, distorted the nature of christ inorder to dupe christians into beleiving that they are too be pacifist in regards to their faith, satan could wish for now better 'christian' than the depraved hyprocrites of the C of E.
They are ashamed of the more challenging aspects of christs ministry, they would never quote such passages as thoughs in which christ speaks , 'think not that i have come to send peace into the world , i came not to send peace ; but a sword'. The church of England are afraid of the demands of the faith , again at the last supper , christ tells his follows too prepare for armed conflict , with these words ; ' if you don't have a sword , sell your cloak and buy one'.
Now add to this the two separate occasions on which christ physically cleansed the temple of traders , making a scourge to lash them out , over throwing the tables and breaking their goods , plus the proclamation of the death penalty for corruptors ( mentioned earlier) , and it becomes glearingly obvious that the christ the C of E profess to teach , in no way bears any resemblence to the Yah'shua Messiah (Jesus christ) of the bible.
The church of england pedal a caricature of christ , they need a 'wimp in a white nighty' , in order to fulfil thier evil machinations. not the saviour in the bible , the one that told us not too fear wars and revolutions , telling us that they are necessary.
They never so much as even speak of the book of Revelation in which christ(Yah'shua Messiah) returns as the warrior king for the battle of armageddon.

ANY INDIVIDUAL THAT INSULTS OR SEEKS TO UNDERMINE THE CHRISTIAN FAITH WILL PAY A PENALTY IN BLOOD,THIS IS YOUR FIRST AND LAST WARNING ! WE WILL HUNT YOU,FIND YOU (NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES) AND PUT YOU DOWN LIKE THE VILE,RABID DOGS YOU ARE !
Hear our words, oh ye infidels ! , spend your days trembling in shadows , shiver and weep in the small hours of morning and know terror , for you have but a short time . The axe is impending !
we are messengers. we bring you tidings of peace and brotherly love if you approach our table with offerings of the same. However , approach with dishonour and insult , covert motive and insidious tongues ;then ye shall know that our God is a consuming fire , for you shall be the chaff that is incinerated .Heed these words . And to the faithful ; christian , do thy duty !
As you well know dear brothers,the only aspect of the law that passed away with the crucifixion of Christ were aspects of the levitcal priesthood concerning animal sacrifice(due to the fact that Christ performed the role of the ultimate sacrificial lamb).These things were always considered as compromises for truth faith,God stated this on a number of occasions before the redemption through christ.However all the aspects of civil law still remain ,letter for letter and word for word.The civic laws in the bible express directly how God feels about certain issues (whether it be crime,inheritance,war etc) and if anyman does not abide by the law ; may he be numbered with the dogs cast outside the gates of the new Jerusalem ! .
As Yah'shua Messiah( Jesus christ) states with absolute clearity in the book Matthew 5,17-19 ; ''Think not that i have come to destroy the law,or the prophets;i am not come to destroy,but to fulfil !For verily i say unto you ,till heaven and earth pass,one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law,till all be fulfilled.Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least commandments,and shall teach men so,he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven ;but whosoever shall do and teach them,the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven !
Besides these facts,we are well aware that Christ had taught the widely misinterpreted 'turn the other cheek' policy only to thoughs disciples which he had chosen to send out on missionary duty.This was a strategic decision taken by Yah'shua for the simple reason that the Jewish authorities were awaiting any opportunity,any excuse;to arrest him and his disciples.Therefore it was only logical not to afford them such an opportunity !
You will notice that later in scripture,Christ goes on to revoke the 'Turn the other cheek' policy by stating the command to his follows, ''If you do not have a sword,sell your cloak and buy one'' ! This is just one of many examples. Also, it is important to point out that the only enemies we were asked to have love for, are thoughs whom are wayward brothers and only for minor issues.This is yet another example of the liberals exploiting (by wilfull misinterpretation)a passage of scripture to suit their own agenders.
This more than adequately hammers the final nail into the coffins of the liberals and their filthy mutilation of scripture,the heresy which they call ''the social Gospel''.
Brethren,follow the God and Christ of scripture,not the inventions and distortions of the left-wing !
May Yahweh bless and keep the faithful and the grace of his only begotten son be with you.
Therefore ye Lions of Yahushua,ye Phinehas priests; you are to conduct holy war ,but with the strictest observance of the law.You are to conform to the law of war has given by God(Yahweh). (read Deuteronomy 20;1-20 , Numbers 25;1-8 , Numbers 25;11-14 ,1 Samuel 15;1-28).
Take your stand therefore brothers and trust in the lord.The strong amongst us must act as shepherds to the sheep.Christ tells us in no uncertain terms that to be a good shepherds you must stand in defence of the sheep,the good shepherd does not flee when he sees the wolf approaching !Those of you who are strong (shepherds)are there-by commanded to defend the weak (sheep). Your are the modern day Phinehas priesthood and you know what God commands of you as such !
Peace be upon the Brothers.Selah, Amen and Amen .
