I Heart You Brian Westbrook

NFL All-Pro Roster.

. . . Brian Westbrook, who led the league in total yards from scrimmage with 2,104.

YES! Bwest gets the national recognition he deserves. Alas, he's the only Bird on there . . . Next year, next year . . .

It was a v. nice gesture, I think, for the NFL to have Sean Taylor on there.

DC Schools Ranked Worst in the Country. Sigh. Families are going to keep fleeing the city in droves at this rate.

Four childrens' bodies found in SE DC House. These kids definitely fell through the cracks. The neighborhood pinged for me because the defendant in my jury duty case grew up there (and was there the day of the assault he was on trial for). Also, I think Ferbee Hope is nearby. Yeah, there's Barnaby Road.

Is any of this fixable? These kids are caught in a vicious cycle--I feel like if you can't get children opportunities while they're children, their road into adulthood is going to be difficult, if not desperate.
