"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Daily Grilling



The Washington Blade newspaper provides details of Colin Finnerty’s next court appearance, and of the face-busting that got him there:


Finnerty is scheduled to appear before D.C. Superior Court Judge John Bailey Jr. at 9:30 a.m. on April 25, when a decision could be made to try him on misdemeanor simple assault charges.

…According to court records for the Georgetown assault, Bloxgom told police "he was minding his business" [in front of The Daily Grill restaurant] when Finnerty and two other men "began picking on him for no apparent reason."

Records say Bloxgom "told them to stop calling him gay and other derogatory names." When Bloxgom tried to walk away, the three men "attacked him, busting his lip and bruising his chin." Bloxgom was treated for his injuries.

Also arrested were Daniel D’Agnes, a Georgetown University student, and Patrick Bonanno, who attends Providence College in Rhode Island.

Finnerty, D’Agnes and Bonanno reportedly played on the same high school lacrosse team.
