I Think This is All a Goof

Friday, February 13th, 2009

I think he is pulling an Andy Kaufman on us all and is making a documentary to out the folks and cynics. He is a talented man; a great actor; and I am sure this is all a farce.

Time will tell if I am right but that is my bet. Joaquin Phoenix is reinventing himself for his art and for his film.

PG United

Wow, big news here from DC United. There is a new planned stadium and move out to Prince George’s County. A new world class facility will do wonders for the team’s viability and economics.

In this economy, creating a private public partnership is a smart and savvy move. We will miss DC United if they move but a new stadium and world class real estate development is needed to kick start the growth of MLS here in our area. Kudos to DC United if they can get this legislation passed and break ground on new digs.
