Do Red Line delays make you foam at the mouth? Have you ever mocked a tourist to his or her face? Do you religiously read a particular Post columnist solely to make fun of him or her?
If so, Why I Hate DC is holding an essay contest to find someone to take over blogging duties that’s perfect for you. Although I’ve often claimed to be a better hater than Amelie Gillette, I love this nitty gritty capital city much too much to apply. It’s all yours.

For those applying, I offer the only post ideas you’ll ever need at Why I Hate DC. Hey, it worked for Rusty.
Post 1: Red Line oh crap it’s so slow
Post 2: Cathy Lanier has bad ideas!
Post 3: Oooh, taxi cabs, I’m so mad at you
Post 4: Laura Sessions Stepp is such a prude.

I agree, any chiding I do is with love…the stuff that is annoying about DC (pomposity, red-line delays, endless “what do you do” as an excuse for a witty conservation starter) is just the necessary trade-off for the many good things about this unusual (and I mean that in a good way) place

“What do you do” isn’t an appropriate conversation starter outside of DC? I use that all the time.
