“Wait a minute. Clinton Portis is on this team?”

“Wow DC is as cold as Denver. I don’t see what the big difference is going to be. Oh yeah, all the losing.”

“I’m ironing my clothes for tomorrow’s Press Conference announcing my hire”

“Mr. Snyder asked me something about a ‘Rooney Rule’. That Dan, what a card.”

Dee Does The District had a cold first day of class. Someone left a window open in their classroom all during the break. And “Dee” heard about problems in other DCPS schools:

“If the unhinged screen door to my balcony is any indication, it’s been very windy (and very cold) recently. The daytime high, with windchill, was in the teens today.

Can you imagine the outrage and ruckus parents would bring if this situation occurred somewhere other than DCPS?”
