It’s a good thing I have tough skin (sort of) because I felt a twinge of a pinch (ouch!) a few times during Monday night’s 10th annual “Will on the Hill” production by the Shakespeare Theatre Company (STC) at Sidney Harman Hall. Alas, if I can’t laugh at myself, I will just cry. That’s not [...]

And Sorensen OUT!
And the fun begins. White House Correspondents’ Association weekend has basically for all intents and purposes, commenced.

They say they save the best for last, however, I’m going to go out on a limb and say this time, that is simply not true, considering American Idol winner and REAL star of the stage JORDIN SPARKS who was the special guest of Wednesday night’s Capitol CAREaoke, sang a few songs ahead of the [...]
