You know how when you’ve been married for ten years you’ve heard all his jokes a hundred times? Well, I’ve heard this one about three hundred times. So it’s really nice for him that other people appreciate it. [Insert patronizing pat on head here.]

(I love you, honey!)

Editor’s note: Against my better judgment, I’ll leave this comment unedited. I never claimed to be the original author of the joke, but at least I got more mileage out of it without you having to hear it again. xoxoxo

Make no assumptions about the council. Anyone who wants this to happen needs to e-mail all the council members. When push comes to shove and the have to vote for the money and the ZTA, they’ll be looking for cover in the form of support from the community, however that’s defined.

I have to disagree. The lease was signed, and that piece of paper certainly has more legal standing than some BS memo of understanding.

And despite all the bitching out of county council, none of its members gave any indication of rejecting the necessary zoning amendments or the funding. As one legislative aide told me: Who would reject something billed as an “economic stimulus” project?

I say this: Stick a fork in it. IT’S DONE.

I say this is a perfect opportunity for another episode of “CCM Smackdown” on TATV (Thayer Avenue Television).

Oh man, that is the funniest thing I’ve read on a Silver Spring blog since I started reading them two years ago. I’m still laughing. Keep up the good work and let’s get Live Nation built already. RIP Birchmere, RIP Seth Hurwitz’s BS’ing Territorialism, and RIP to the kaleidescope of vinyl canopies on that side of Colesville Road!
