Tomorrow Will be Too Hot to Function

There’s a heat wave making its way through the East Coast, and everyone is mad about it. I’ve run out of dresses to wear and have somehow finagled a questionable pencil skirt/tank top combo that is keeping me somewhat cool. People are pouring sweat on the streets (well, not in Cleveland Circle, where they just take their clothes off). Stores and restaurants are overcompensating with freezing cold air conditioning.

It’s not a calming influence. And didn’t he take a lot of those pictures in the Congressional gym? Like, do we really want to be promoting that? I know there’s some crazies that work out at the BSC, so let’s not give them any ideas that it’s ok to use their cameraphones in the locker room.

Ok. I just needed to get that out. Carry on.

Taking matters into her own hands this week, an Oklahoma woman with quite an agenda reportedly attacked another woman with her car after mistaking her for the now infamous Casey Anthony. The woman is said to have waited outside Anthony lookalike Sammay Blackwell’s place of work, a convenience store in Chouteau, OK, and then rammed her car into Blackwell’s as she pulled out of her parking space, causing the vehicle to flip over multiple times. Like the Navy SEALS waiting for bin Laden.

She “said that I was trying to hurt babies, [that] I was killing babies, and she was going to stop me before it happened again,” Blackwell told police.
