#DCquake is just God’s way of telling Congress to stay on vacation.

Quake wasn't the first time I fell off my stool. #Earthquake

They say Washington is hot in August. Only if you go outside.

[Dick Candless @OverTheHillDC]

Ditto. @PlatesAndSpikes I slept on the curb outside the Tune last night

HT @anna_greenberg - D.C. Adults Top Alcohol Abusers in Country – this is news? http://t.co/AEIhQnD

@EzraKlein is right. Anyone who says they know what happens next is lying. DC has no shortage of liars. Just ask my ex-wife’s lawyer.

@thehill - 50 Most Beautiful is out. If they had this list when I was in my prime I might have several more ex-wives. http://t.co/9AN9vzV

[Dick Candless @OverTheHillDC]

@thehill 50 Most Beautiful list - If beauty is truly on the inside then I am even less likely to make this list - http://t.co/9AN9vzV

@farrauto - Good thing about old stories - they get better with fermenting.

[Dick Candless @OverTheHillDC]

@farrauto is complaining about my stories and breath. My stories are

I finished my drink and got the thirsty look on my face again. She ignored it.

@DCSkintern Remember? I taught him to smoke. He taught me to cry. Been doing a lot of both since.

@HotlineReid says most of the taxidermy at the Tune Inn survived the fire. I resent being called taxidermy. #TuneInn

[Dick Candless @OverTheHillDC]

RT @HotlineReid:Tune Inn to be closed all summer. But owner says most of the taxidermy on the walls avoided fire damage//What about the gin?

Not entirely true story. He threw broccoli in '04. Is the Tune Inn open yet? I need some breakfast. #tuneinn
