Congrats to @LACaldwellDC, elected today as the 550th Active member of the Gridiron Club -- and the first member ever from @PuckNews. She joins the oldest association of journalists in Washington, founded in 1885 and only modestly updated since then.

Realizing that journalists and politicians say this just about every election, @CarlPLeubsdorf explains why he really means it this time >>>
