Hoagie Eaters of the World, Unite!
The governor stops Hoagiegate, what do you do when the mayor steals your car, and John Edwards forgets to pay his taxes
Sorry this is short today, for some reason the Washington Post's website is not working, so I was unable to pull a bunch of articles off of it. Also, as some of you may know already, I will be leaving my current full-time position in DC at the end of this week, so all the formalities involved with that are taking some time. So, there will be no Swamp tomorrow, but we'll be back to full strength next week!

Bad John Edwards Photo of the Day:
Why is that boy howling?
Stay away from the vehicle: Camden, NJ's mayor isn't giving up her car, which she stole from a local resident. I mean, you have to love a quote like this: As a mayor, I work to do the right things for the city and for the resident, I will never stop. I am first class. I do the right thing, and that makes you first class." -
