The prostitution bit is bad enough. The corruption and illegal campaign contributions connected to the travel arrangements are even worse. The media as usual is relatively disinterested because it makes their team look bad. datadyne007 if you think Obama and his policies have been a success...

Damn that Fauxnews for being biased!

And these units are any different than prewar studio apartments throughout the city how? These are nothing more than an exercise in marketing and academic masturbation.

Notice how the concrete spawled from one of the sections recently repaired. Take into consideration the significant swaths of the Bowker which were not recently repaired. MassDOT is gambling on this and someone is going to get hurt or killed. I imagine one of these days an overweight flatbed is...

Unfortunately the 28 bus got shafted out of a once in a lifetime BRT upgrade because certain politicians had to protect their personal fiefdoms. The Indigo Line and an elevated rail line could help immensely. But good luck getting either of those approved and funded.

"Or maybe he did it because only unhinged people care about this non-issue and he knows it?" No he did it because he's one of the all too common hatchet-man masquerading as a journalist, had his marching orders, and knew favors would be done to get him out of any trouble. The whole usurpation...

Doesn't matter in the eyes of the law in DC if something is a "prop" (props themselves require special licenses), private citizens aren't allowed to posses the magazines in the District period. Gregory was advised of this and broke the law anyway because he's a special little lapdog and knows it.
