DCist and the -ist network is participating in a first of its kind credential program at this year’s Democratic National Convention. We’re serving as the selected blogger representing the District of Columbia in the DNC State Blogger Corps (California’s rep is Calitics ). Here’s how The New York Times described the desirability of our credential: For bloggers attending the Democratic convention at the Pepsi Center in Denver, two types of credentials are offered. The first is a national credential, which offers the same access granted to members of traditional news media organizations.
The second, more coveted credential is the state blogger credential. It allows one blogger per state to cover the convention alongside its state delegation, with unlimited floor access. Inspired by the strategy of Howard Dean, the D.N.C. chairman, to organize in all 50 states, the state-blogging credential was highly sought after, with as many as 14 blogs vying to...

Well, it’s starting to get a little chilly down south. The Ducks knocked of the "Mighty" Red Wings in six games, surviving a three goal scoring barrage by Detroit in the third period.

Angels 6, Tigers 3 - Some offen...

Tonight’s second-to-last show pitted the beatboxer ( Blake Lewis ) against the 17-year-old power singer ( Jordin Sparks ). They each sang their favorite song from a past show, a c...

See that ridiculous excuse for a bedroom pictured above? The unmade bed, the stacks of books, the unorganized electronic devices and extension cords that are just BEGGING to be tripped over? The obsolete XBOX? The mismatched furniture? The cheap plastic bedside chest of drawers that I’ve had since my dorm years? Hey, you wanna live there? No, seriously, it’s great. I swear.
