And as someone who’s native to the area and lives in DC proper now, I’m going to have to strongly disagree there. I’ve never worked in politics, don’t have any connections to “powerful people;” and yet, when I was still going on first dates, I never had a problem finding a beautiful, smart, funny woman to say yes to drinks and wherever the night took us.
Now while I’d love to believe that it’s because my winning good looks, brilliant personality, and superb sense of humility just overcame the serious “lack of connections” handicap, what’s much more likely is that it’s not actually a big deal for the majority of the population.
Like, I’m sure that there are some younger Hill staff and K Street twits where that might matter, but those were people I’d find insufferable regardless. Those are the people that make it sound like asking “so what do you do?” in DC is anything but just a conversation topic to get to know someone better.
The follow-up mailbag if anyone listens to Bill’s first piece of advice: “What’s the best way to explain to the girl I like that I got genital herpes from a hooker?”
I’m going to go ahead and throw gasoline on this fire: If you’re going to go to that much trouble, why are you pre-grinding the coffee beans? They start losing aromatic flavor 15 minutes after grinding.
If you care that much about coffee to go through this ritual to only get 1 cup, you should invest $20 in a decent grinder.
This just shows the importance of getting in on the ground floor of an operation. Halfpipe skiing has only been around in the Olympics since 2014, so there aren’t any “I grew up training for this sport” athletes yet. I guarantee that no one will be able to pull this kind of lazy genius by 2022.
That was supposed to be Samuel Jackson relaying this message, but stop saying Admo. Despite what developer’s paradise NoMa would like you to believe, we’re not NYC. We don’t abbreviate established neighborhoods.
Because that’s what interns do. They also eventually outgrow bragging about status and thinking that congressional staffers are really cool, but maybe Duda missed the memo on that.
Based off of yesterday’s comments, I’d guess the reason you bailed is you didn’t have enough cash to pay for both of them.

If you think “having a good job” is an attractive quality that’s exclusive to DC, I’ve got some bad news for you…
Alternate headline: “Insufferable Trump staffers can’t get laid, blame all women rather than have moment of introspection.”

Reading an article rather than immediately taking umbrage with a headline? Where’s the fun in that?
This isn’t confidence. This is just being an asshole and trying to make excuses for it.

Er. what?
I guess “40th floor” just sounds more romantic than “7th floor”?
You? Being amazed at what people will nitpick about?
Really?
Sorry is just a poor man’s version of Parcheesi.

Ah yes, I had forgotten how few attorneys there were in DC.

Everyone knows that flipcup skills are the most important thing in a kickball league.
