Classified Australian documents turned up at secondhand shop

Why did the chicken cross the road? To vandalize property.

A flight from Norway to Germany reached the Swedish border but had to turn back because of a toilet problem — even though 85 plumbers headed to a trade event were on board, UPI reported Wednesday. “We’d have gladly fixed the toilets, but it had to be done from the outside, and we didn’t [want] to send a plumber out at 10,000 meters altitude,” said passenger Frank Olsen, CEO of a Norwegian plumbing company.

The legislature in New Hampshire is considering a bill that would make trespassing fowl a violation — not for the chicken, but for its owners. Under the proposal, anyone who lets their domestic fowl enter someone else’s property without permission can be convicted of a violation if the birds damage crops or property.

THE DISTRICT Sen. John Neely Kennedy, R-La., brought Calvin Franklin, a member of the Senate office building’s custodial staff, as his guest for President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday evening. “[Calvin] works hard behind the scenes at the U.S. Senate and deserves a front row seat to history unfolding,” Kennedy said in a news release.

Franklin said Wednesday morning that he loved being at the State of the Union, and he got a lot of attention from his friends and colleagues.

“Everybody was like, ‘Oh, I didn’t know you were that popular. I didn’t know you had big-time pull with the senators,’ ” Franklin said with a laugh.

The two got to know each other about two years ago, shortly after Franklin started his job on the custodial staff in the Russell Senate Office Building.

“When I first started working in this building, he was one of the first ones to stop and talk to me,” said Franklin, 23, a D.C. native. “I built a bond with him.

He’s one of the coolest senators.”

Franklin said he said yes right away when Kennedy asked him to attend the speech. “I’d definitely go with John Kennedy,” he said. “That’s my buddy.”

Six Baltimore officers have pleaded guilty to gouging crooks, city BALTIMORE The officers’ job during some of the bloodiest years in Baltimore was to get guns off the streets.

Instead, they plundered money, jewelry, drugs and weapons and gouged the cash-strapped city for time they never worked, according to their own admissions and testimony in criminal cases.

Over the past four years, some members of the Gun Trace Task Force stole more than $300,000, at least 3 kilos of cocaine, 43 pounds of marijuana, 800 grams of heroin and hundreds of thousands of dollars in watches from suspected drug dealers and civilians, according to officers’ plea agreements and statements.

They admit to putting illegal trackers on the cars of suspected dealers so they could rob their homes and sell off any drugs and guns they found. The squad sergeant, Wayne Jenkins, carried brass knuckles, a machete and a grappling hook in case they found a “monster” dealer to swindle, two officers testified in Baltimore over the past week.

Those officers testified that Jenkins also told them to carry BB guns to plant at crime scenes in case they ever needed to justify why they had hurt someone.

As they went rogue, the same

officers took home hundreds of thousands of dollars in unearned overtime pay in a city struggling to pay its teachers.

“It was like a way of life,” former detective Jemell Rayam testified Monday. “We got away with a lot of things.”

The officers who have pleaded guilty in the case are Thomas Allers, 49; Evodio Hendrix, 32; Jenkins, 37; Rayam, 37; Maurice Ward, 36; and Momodu Gondo, 34.

Two former detectives who pleaded not guilty, Daniel Hersl and Marcus Taylor, are on trial in a case expected to last about two weeks and include testimony from several of their victims.

Four people arrested by the unit have been let out of federal prison; other federal cases are being appealed.

The State’s Attorney’s office estimated in November that 277 cases have been affected by the indictments, 125 have been dropped and 71 are under review.

“The only thing that is surprising to me with these trials are the actual guilty pleas and that officers are going to prison,” said Ray Kelly, who leads the Baltimore advocacy group No Boundaries Coalition. “For years we have talked about and tried to identify the levels of corruption within the BPD, and now our concerns are, sadly, being validated.”

REVERSE TYPE II DIABETES You’re Invited to a

Free Diabetic Event This Diabetes presentation will discuss how many Type II Diabetics have been able to reduce and eliminate their need for prescription medication and insulin, lose weight without exercise, reduce and eliminate the risk for diabetic complications, and even become clinically nondiabetic.

Also discover rarely used diagnostic testing that is helping doctors understand potential causes of diabetes beyond genetics, weight gain, dieting, and lack of exercise.

Here is what Drs. Chaney’s patients are saying...

“When I started my A1C was 12.5 - it was terrifying. The program to me was life changing. When I thought I was eating right they let me know that what I was eating was good for some people but it wasn’t good for me. I thank God for Dr. Steph and Dr. Tom Chaney because they turned my life around.”

“I am reporting to you three years after joining the program. I am 50 pounds lighter, I am happier, healthier and my A1C is no longer 13 but 5.4.”

-Glennis G.

-Milton A.

“I can not tell you how great I feel. My energy is way up and my sleep is so much better. I am thrilled with Dr. Tom and Dr. Steph for helping me regain my personal health and reverse my diabetes.”

-Barry B.

“When I started this program my A1C was 8.9. My current A1C is 5.7. I was taking Metformin and two types of blood pressure medications. My blood sugars before the program were running in the 180’s.

Now my blood sugars are running in the 110’s. After 2 months in the program my doctors stopped my Metformin - that was phenomenal! I’ve also lost 25 pounds.”

“My first visit was very pleasant. My second visit is what changed my life. I have been a patient for 6 months. My A1C has gone from 6.6 to 5.7. I started out 70 pounds heavier. But coming to Living Health wasn’t about weight loss it was about type 2 diabetes. As you can see from my numbers that my type 2 diabetes has been reversed which is the intent of the program.”

“I came to this program because my A1C had drastically gone up to 9.2 and I was 215 pounds. Six months into the program my A1C dropped from 9.2 to 6.2 and my weight has dropped from 215 pounds to 195.”

“All I can say is it really works. I’ve been in the program for 5 months and I feel like a whole new woman. I’ve lost 40 pounds, I’m not on any diabetic medication anymore - that stopped pretty quick! My A1C went from 7.8 to 6.”

-Marissa M.

My A1C was 8. Two months after that it was 6.4. As of a couple of days ago it is 5.9. I am ecstatic about that. I can only hope...I know, not hope, I know...that my blood sugars have come down, so the weight will come off. The blood pressure, I’ll be off of that medication.

I have no doubt that I’ll be off of my diabetes medication and it’s all thanks to the Drs. Chaney and their facilities and I’m so happy.”

Train to GOP retreat crashes Trash truck driver killed in collision with Amtrak; others injured in Virginia

An Amtrak train carrying Republican members of Congress to a strategy retreat in West Virginia collided with a garbage truck in rural Virginia.

ZACK WAJSGRAS (THE DAILY PROGRESS VIA AP)

CROZET, VA. A train carrying dozens of Republican members of Congress to a strategy retreat in the countryside slammed into a garbage truck in rural Virginia on Wednesday, killing one person in the vehicle and sending several lawmaker-doctors rushing to help the injured.

No serious injuries were reported aboard the chartered Amtrak train, which set out from the nation’s capital with lawmakers, family members and staff for the luxury Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. At least two other people in the truck were reported seriously hurt.

The collision happened around 11:20 a.m. in Crozet, about 125 miles southwest of Washington, tearing the truck in two, crumpling the nose of the locomotive and scattering trash alongside the tracks.

Rep. Robert Pittenger of North Carolina said he was standing at the train’s refreshment stand when he felt “an enormous slam. ... It was a huge jolt. We all hung on to whatever we had.”

He said he looked out the window and saw a big pile of garbage, and it appeared the train had pushed the truck for a few hundred yards.

Authorities gave no details on the cause of the wreck, which took place at a crossing protected

The nose of the train was smashed and the truck was torn in two. One person in the truck was killed. No serious injuries were reported on the train.

and other lawmakers who are doctors joined other passengers who are nurses or paramedics and jumped out with the basic medical gear they had. They broke into three teams to help the injured people in the truck, he said.

“The first gentleman was somebody who had really, really, really devastating injuries.

We did try to resuscitate, but ultimately you had to realize it wasn’t possible,” Dunn said. He said another man in the truck was critically injured and a third was seriously hurt.

Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and his wife, both doctors, were among those who came to the rescue. He said he helped a man from the truck who was badly injured.

Officials gave varying figures on the number injured. But Amtrak said two crew members and three passengers were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Minnesota Rep. Jason Lewis’ staff tweeted that the first-term congressman was among those taken to the hospital and was being checked for a possible concussion. Others aboard the train reported bumps, bruises and sore joints.

The GOP policy retreat was scheduled to last three days and feature speeches from President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. By early afternoon, lawmakers were boarding buses to resume their trip, and Pence was still planning to address them later Wednesday.

nation+world Justice Department decides to not pursue corruption charges COURTS In a complete reversal, the Justice Department asked a federal judge Wednesday to toss out its indictment against New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez.

Two weeks earlier, prosecutors had filed notice that they intended to keep pursuing corruption charges against the Democrat, even as Judge William Walls dismissed seven of the

18 charges. Walls presided over Menendez’s first trial in November.

The retreat of D O J prosecu Menendez tors in the case is a setback for public integrity prosecutors, as legal experts question whether their authority to pursue similar cases will become more limited as a result.

For years, Menendez, 64, has fought charges that he took gifts from Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen in exchange for helping the doctor with his finances,

including a billing dispute with Medicare. Menendez has claimed that the case against him was an effort to criminalize a longtime friendship.

In response to the Justice Department dropping the charges, the lawmaker released a statement, in part saying he was “grateful that the Department of Justice has taken the time to reevaluate its case and come to the appropriate conclusion.”

The administration wants to cut clean energy funding by 72 percent in 2019.

Trump seeks cuts to clean energy ENERGY The Trump administration is poised to ask Congress for deep budget cuts to the Energy Department’s renewable energy and energy efficiency programs, slashing them by 72 percent overall in fiscal 2019, according to draft budget documents obtained

by The Washington Post.

Many of the cuts would likely be restored by Congress, but President Trump’s budget due out in February will mark a starting point for negotiations and offer a statement of intent and priorities.

The document underscores the administration’s continued focus on fossil fuel resources over renewable technologies seen as a solution to climate change.

The Energy Department had asked the White House for more

modest spending reductions for the renewable and efficiency programs, but people familiar with the process said that the Office of Management and Budget insisted on the deeper cuts.

Spending for the Energy Department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is set at a $2.04 billion level for the current fiscal year. Last year, the administration asked for $636.1 million, a decline of over two-thirds, though Congress did not implement the request.

For 2019, the administration’s draft proposal would lower that request to $575.5 million.

The document also suggests substantial staff cuts, down from 680 in the enacted 2017 budget to 450 in 2019. CHRIS MOONEY AND STEVEN MUFSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

FBI challenges president on memo Bureau cites concerns over key ‘omissions’ in report on Russia probe POLITICS The FBI said Wednesday it has “grave concerns” about the accuracy of a classified memo on the Russia investigation that President Trump wants to release to the public. It was the first time the bureau has weighed in publicly on an issue that has openly divided the Justice Department and the White House.

In its unusual public statement,

the FBI said it was given only a limited opportunity to review the four-page memo, which was drafted by Republicans on the House intelligence committee.

Republicans have said the memo reveals improper use of surveillance by the FBI and the Justice Department in the early stages of the investigation into potential Trump campaign ties to Russia. Democrats have called the memo a “cherry-picked” list of GOP talking points that attempts to distract from the committee’s own investigation into Russian meddling in the election that sent

Unity calls face reality Trump’s plans for immigration, infrastructure meet swift resistance in Congress

Trump signs order to keep Gitmo open

WIN MCNAMEE (AP)

POLITICS President Trump’s pledge in his State of the Union address Tuesday night to “extend an open hand” to both parties in pursuit of an ambitious policy agenda rammed quickly Wednesday into the reality of a largely gridlocked Congress — and a deeply polarized Washington.

Trump’s call for a massive infrastructure bill to fund new bridges, roads and other projects nationwide was shelved, at least for now, as lawmakers prepared to return to disputes over spending that have gripped the Capitol for weeks.

Democrats, most of whom sat stone-faced in the House chamber during Trump’s address, blasted the president for not calling out Russia for its interference in the 2016 presidential campaign and predicted that his scripted appeal for unity could not make up for a year’s worth of divisive behavior.

And some conservatives expressed alarm that Trump offered to put more than 1 million young undocumented immigrants on a path to citizenship, as Democrats vowed to oppose Trump’s push to curb some forms of legal immigration.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a former Trump campaign rival who has become a fierce ally, emerged from the speech and immediately noted the partisan breach and the disconnect between Trump’s words and the dynamics on Capitol Hill.

“I have never seen the Senate more divided than it is right now,” Cruz said.

Said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.: “The president talked about unity in his speech at the beginning, but by the end all he did was drive the wedges further in.”

The fleeting nature of Trump’s

President Trump called for a massive infrastructure bill to fund new bridges, roads and other projects nationwide.

first State of the Union address revealed just how difficult it will be for his administration to accomplish much of anything this year in Congress.

Party leaders remain preoccupied by the approaching Feb. 8 deadline for government funding.

Democrats, other than those running for re-election in conservative states, are wary of Trump’s outreach and distrustful of a president many have said is morally unfit for the office. And many Republicans, frustrated that Trump’s unpopularity is clouding over the potential political benefits of a healthy economy, are starting to hunker down ahead of the midterm election season.

Even Trump’s allies acknowledged that there is little the president can do to bring the warring factions together.

“The fights and the disagreements have nothing to do with who is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” said Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., chairman of the conservative

Infrastructure roadblock President Trump’s pledge Tuesday to build “gleaming new roads, bridges, highways, railways and waterways all across our land” drew some bipartisan praise. Yet his plans for funding the infrastructure — with legislation that would “leverage” state, local and private money to generate $1.5 trillion — prompted questions and scrutiny. Democrats and Republicans remain far apart on how to proceed with infrastructure.

Most Republicans want publicprivate partnerships driven by tax credits for corporations. Democrats, however, want federal spending that would be driven by Congress, not by companies. (TWP)

Those gaps are most prevalent in the ongoing budget battle. A government shutdown in late

January left congressional leaders at odds and without a long-term spending deal. Democrats continue to insist that any agreement made in February must include protections for “Dreamers,” the roughly 1.8 million immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children by their parents.

Republicans have resisted those calls to link a vote on the next spending bill to immigration legislation — and they are split on specifics.

On spending, Republicans face similar fractures. GOP hawks are clamoring for a boost in military spending, but the party’s hard-liners are unhappy with proposals that would increase the federal deficit.

All of these debates will force House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to put together a political Rubik’s Cube that can pass both chambers by Feb. 8, or else risk another shutdown.

ROBERT COSTA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

NATIONAL SECURITY President Trump has signed an executive order to keep open the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, marking a formal reversal of his predecessor’s eight-year effort to shut it down.

Trump made it clear during his campaign that he wanted Guantanamo to remain open and to “load it up with some bad dudes,” but he has not yet sent a new detainee to the facility.

The order, which Trump signed Tuesday night, says the U.S. maintains the option to detain additional enemy combatants at the detention center in Cuba when lawful and necessary to protect U.S. national security.

The facility once had as many as 680 inmates under President George W. Bush. He and President Barack Obama reduced that number. When Obama left office, there were 41, including five cleared for release.

Practically, little is expected to change with Trump’s order, said Lee Wolosky, who was Obama’s envoy at the State Department for closing Guantanamo.

“But as a symbolic matter, it changes a great deal because the two presidents before him were trying to close Guantanamo because they recognized it was a detriment to our national security,” he said. “Symbolically, it reaffirms [Trump’s] interest in perpetrating a symbol that has greatly damaged the United States.” DEB RIECHMANN (AP)

Grading out destinations for Cousins

JERRY BREWER | THE WASHINGTON POST

Bad deal

Minnesota Vikings Grade: A Cap space: $52.5 million Their top three QBs are set to be free agents, so there’s a place for Kirk Cousins. Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs and Kyle Rudolph are talented targets. Minnesota finished first in total defense, too.

Redskins were impulsive and irresponsible in trade to land quarterback Alex Smith, who costs too much for too little talent he’s not as aggressive and effective throwing down the field as Cousins (who is only average in that area), not as creative throwing when plays break down as Cousins (who is slightly above average in that area) and not as reliable of a touchdown generator as Cousins (who leaves plenty of room for griping in this area).

In three seasons as a fulltime starter, Cousins has averaged 4,392 yards and 27 TD passes. In 2017, Smith had the best of his 13 years in the NFL. He topped 4,000 yards passing for the first time with a career-high 26 TDs. Smith is athletic. He can run. He rarely throws interceptions. But during good runs with Jim Harbaugh in San Francisco and Andy Reid in Kansas City, the coaches were exceptional at building around him. For most of his career, Smith has been a don’t-mess-itup quarterback. Considering the holes on Washington’s roster, this is a problem.

The Redskins were right to be proactive in seeking QB security. Of course, if they had been more proactive negotiating with Cousins, they might not have needed to be. The front office is paid to evaluate talent and project salaries. It blew it in both phases. Team president Bruce Allen didn’t fully appreciate Cousins’ talent until it

WASHINGTON POST AND GETTY IMAGES

The saga of Kirk Cousins’ contract began with the Redskins reluctant to commit Rolls-Royce money to merely a nice and reliable automobile.

It finally, mercifully, strangely ended Tuesday night after two unnerving years of limbo, with those infamously imprudent, burgundy-stained decisionmakers hurling the franchise from one dilemma to the next.

You could scratch your head raw pondering the outcome: The team that didn’t want to commit Rolls-Royce money to merely a nice and reliable automobile just traded a thirdround pick and good, 22-yearold cornerback Kendall Fuller to the Chiefs for Alex Smith, who is merely a nice and reliable automobile.

To complete the deal, the team committed Rolls-Royce money to Smith — reportedly a four-year, $94 million extension with $71 million guaranteed, on top of his $17 million salary for next season. Washington couldn’t agree on a long-term contract with the QB it drafted and groomed for six seasons, but pending details of the deal, it gave Smith, 33, what appears to be the third-largest guarantee in NFL history.

While Smith is a comparable talent who has won more,

Alex Smith, top, is a solid option for the Redskins without Kirk Cousins, but team president Bruce Allen, above, may have had to overpay for him.

What could have been Two years ago, when the Redskins first used the franchise tag on Kirk Cousins, he proposed a four-year deal at $19 million per year with $44 million in guarantees. If Washington had agreed, Cousins would be two years into a contract that would have made him the league’s 14th-highestpaid QB by average annual salary.

Now the Redskins have to pay Alex Smith, who is four years older and less statistically accomplished, $17 million next year and then $23.5 million annually for four years with $71 million in guarantees. J.B.

was too late. You get ahead by thinking ahead. You fall behind by, well, being the Redskins.

As far as Plan Bs go, Smith is a solid choice, but Washington went too far in pursuing him.

It would’ve been wiser for

the Redskins to vet other options. Washington could have further explored using the No. 13 overall pick on a highceiling quarterback, or signing a stopgap while drafting a prospect a little later, or waiting out the possible availability via trade of Bengals QB and Jay Gruden protege Andy Dalton.

Instead, Allen went all in on Smith in late January. Trading a 2018 third-round pick was standard, and the team could get back a 2019 third-rounder as a compensatory pick for Cousins in free agency. Sending Fuller away was unreasonable. Extending Smith at the top of his value was preposterous.

One awkward and mismanaged quarterbacking conundrum ends. Another begins.

Grade: B+ Cap space: $16.5 million The Jags’ cap space for 2018 will be $34.5 million if they cut Blake Bortles before June. They ranked No. 1 in run offense and pass defense.

Cleveland Browns Grade: B+ Cap space: $109.6 million They have money to spend, the No. 4-ranked O-line by Pro Football Focus and two high first-round picks in April.

Denver Broncos Grade: C+ Cap space: $26.8 million Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders are strong, albeit aging, receivers on an offense that’s struggled with a trio of bad quarterbacks.

Alex Smith is a mobile QB with high character who doesn’t commit many turnovers.

Good deal

Fox spends $3B on rights to Thursday NFL games

Rarely do NFL player transactions elicit “wows,” but Washington’s acquisition of quarterback Alex Smith five days before the Super Bowl — and subsequent agreement on a contract extension — is the exception.

Wow, indeed.

At $71 million guaranteed, Smith is a steal. Over the past year, I’ve gotten to know Smith well while working on a book project about the art of playing quarterback in the NFL. Here’s what Washington fans, and his future teammates, should know: Excellent quarterback. Better person. Leader in the locker room.

And, for those worried that he will turn 34 in May, check out his 70-yard run against the Jets in December. The Chiefs even had some read-option in their offense this season to take advantage of his speed and elusiveness.

Washington needed a quarterback for 2018, because Kirk Cousins had made up his mind to leave and Washington was never going to use a third franchise tag on him. The Redskins could have gone with Colt McCoy as a place-holder and

planned to take a quarterback with the 13th overall pick in April’s draft. But college quarterbacks are never guaranteed to become stars.

Smith is a lock to play well.

He has proven that for 13 years and is coming off his best season statistically. If Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ top receiver, hadn’t been knocked out by a helmet-to-helmet hit late in the first half of a playoff loss to Tennessee, Smith likely would have been leading his teammates into a playoff game at New England, where the Chiefs won in the regular season.

Washington has reached the playoffs five times since 1992.

Smith’s Chiefs have made it four of the past five years.

Quarterback play is largely influenced by surrounding talent, but if you insist on comparing Smith and Cousins, Smith is more mobile, and he threw just five interceptions this past season, to Cousins’ 13.

There won’t be any doubts about Smith in the locker room. He will be the perfect face of a franchise that desperately needs one.

Comparisons are unfair The fast-twitch comparisons to Kirk Cousins are natural, but they miss one critical point: Cousins wasn’t an option for Washington. The team wasn’t going to pay $34 million to tag him for a third season, and regardless of any of the politically correct things Cousins said about wanting to stay, he was getting out the first chance he got. It wasn’t a question of if, but when. J.F.

which has helped foster kids from poor backgrounds attend college since it started in 2005, spent 91 percent of the funds it raised on the charity, not on expenses or salaries. The acceptable level, according to experts, is 65 to 75 percent.

That doesn’t matter to fans nearly as much as winning, of course. But given a reasonable chance, Smith will produce. He loved playing for the Chiefs’ Andy Reid because he was an offensive-minded coach.

“I’ve played for four coaches in the NFL,” he said. “Two were defensive guys [Mike Nolan and Mike Singletary]; two were offensive guys [Jim Harbaugh and Reid]. Wherever I end up, I’d like to be with a head coach who focuses on offense first.”

He will get that, playing for Jay Gruden. Good for him.

Better for the team and for the city.

ALEX SMITH TRADE

Redskins had to sweeten deal

After agreeing with Kansas City on a trade for quarterback Alex Smith, the Redskins drew criticism from team captain D.J. Swearinger for including rising star cornerback Kendall Fuller, left, in the deal, which also requires Washington to send its thirdround pick this year. But the Redskins, according to sources, were competing against as many as five other teams to land Smith. Fuller is not believed to have been part of the opening offer. LIZ CLARKE (TWP)

Swept off my feet: A night of curling is straight-up fun There are few Olympic sports that make people say, “Hey, I could do that.” And then there’s curling.

To the untrained eye, it looks a lot like shuffleboard, which gets its name from the way enthusiasts of the sport tend to shuffle due to their advanced age. Curling, on the other hand, takes great athleticism and skill, fans of the game will tell you. Their argument is weakened somewhat by

their use of cleaning supplies as sports equipment. In fact, during the 2014 Olympics, four janitors with push brooms mistakenly walked onto the curling rink and ended up taking home bronze.

Just kidding. That would never happen, because curlers are easily identified by their pants, which are so densely patterned, they sometimes collapse in on themselves and suck in anyone unlucky enough to be wearing plaid nearby.

That — and the fact that after a match, it’s customary for

the winning team to buy the losing team a round of drinks — constitutes most of what I know about curling. But that was enough to make me want to give the sport a try.

So when I heard that The Wharf hosts “Curling & Cocktails” each Monday night at its outdoor rink for as long as the weather is favorable, I was the first to sign up for the next event. Literally. I arrived at 6 p.m. — a full 90 minutes before the games began — to make sure I got a spot. That was a smart move, because when I returned at 7:37 p.m., the waiting list was full and would-be curlers were being turned away.

I elbowed my way to the front of the crowd and asked a woman with a clipboard how long it would be until my name was called.

“Sorry,” she said, not looking sorry. “You were supposed to be back at 7:30, and you

weren’t here.”

“But I was here at 6,” I whined. The official was unmoved, but my complaining drew the sympathy of the curlers who were up next: Kelly, 24, an occupational therapist, and Josh, 30, who works on Capitol Hill. “Our two friends aren’t here, so you can play with us,” Kelly said.

We needed a fourth player, so we recruited a stray National Public Radio reporter and formed two teams — Reporters vs. Productive Members of Society. I fretted with my fellow journalist that we were going to get crushed by our young, athletic-looking opponents.

“My main goal is not to fall,” she said.

We collected our equipment — two brooms and four “stones,” which are heavy pieces of granite with metal handles attached — and took our spot at one of three courts on the ice. We didn’t get any further instructions, so I went first, gently sliding my stone with my hand in the direction of the target while my teammate smoothed the way with her broom. When my stone stopped short, I lashed out in frustration. “Sweep harder next time!” I shouted.

“I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing,” my sweeper replied.

I later discovered that all the people wielding brooms at The Wharf that evening were pretty much there for show.

Unlike our rink, real curling rinks are sprayed with water, which freezes into “pebbles” that make the surface rougher.

Sweepers strategically smooth the ice in front of the stone to control its path. Often, they stop smoothing just as the stone reaches the target, causing it to slow down and

curl into exactly the right spot.

The Wharf’s rink, however, was smooth as glass, which meant that my sweeper had exactly the same amount of control over the stone’s path as the people yelling from the sidelines.

Up next, Josh sent his stone sliding nicely onto the target.

His triumph was short-lived, however, because I sent my stone careening into his. Team Reporters ended up winning that round 1-0 and — more importantly — we looked good doing it.

Meanwhile, the curlers at the next court over were attempting to shove their stones with their brooms, a clearly illegal move.

“Come on!” a heckler yelled from the sidelines. “Haven’t you ever watched curling on TV?” “No, I haven’t!” one of the errant curlers replied defensively.

Not everyone was clueless.

One group of men delivered their stones with such grace and authority, they attracted the attention of the clipboard lady.

“You’ve done this before, haven’t you?” she said.

“We’re firemen,” one guy replied, as if that explained anything.

At the end of our match, Reporters were tied with Productives 2-2. At least, that’s what I thought.

“I wasn’t keeping track, but I’m pretty confident that we destroyed you,” Josh claimed.

I was fine with that interpretation, because it meant that he and Kelly owed us drinks. Unfortunately, they disappeared before I could tell them about that crucial curling tradition, so I bought one for myself and spent another hour watching other teams play. By the time I headed home for the night, it was clear that curling — or whatever you call the approximation that happens at The Wharf — is my new favorite game. I can’t wait to go shopping for some dangerous new pants.

Helpful advice like this fills the pages of the new parody book “Hottest Heads of State, Volume One: The American Presidents” by St. Louis-based couple J.D. and Kate Dobson, who met in D.C. and lived in the city until 2009. In the book, billed as “TigerBeat for U.S. presidents,” they outline each leader’s charms and favorite pickup lines, and offer strategies to win his heart. Express asked the Dobsons, who are in town this weekend for two book talks, to evaluate the dateability of six POTUSes, including bad boy Richard Nixon and “dreamboat in a wig” George Washington.

Re:Generation Tour 2018 w/Arlo, Abe & Sarah Lee Guthrie

Barack Obama

John F. Kennedy

Franklin Pierce

Kate makes a convincing argument in favor of Obama: “It would be worth being with him just to make him say, ‘Yes, we can’ whenever you want,” she says. “You could work that into your vows, like, ‘Can we go out to lunch today?’ “Yes, we can!’” Beyond the catchphrases, Obama is cool and cool-headed, kills at Scrabble and likes babies. “He’s a good-looking guy, he’s tall and he’s got that great voice,” Kate says. “He seems like a catch.”

Overrated, declare the Dobsons. Sure, the 35th president is easy on the eyes, but “I don’t think he’s as good-looking as everybody thinks he is,” J.D. argues. Kennedy will promise you the moon and the stars, but unless you’re drawn to men who compulsively cheat on you, you’d do well to elect a different paramour. “I think [he only makes sense] if you have really severe issues — in which case, go to a counselor, don’t date Jack Kennedy,” Kate says.

Haven’t given “Handsome Frank” much thought? “That’s a mistake,” Kate scolds. Looks aside, he was an outdoorsy sort, with special interests in fishing and wrestling. (If you wrestle with him, “you’ll probably lose, but you will still come away feeling like you’ve won,” the Dobsons write in their book). To win Pierce’s heart, you’ll need to appear shy, sickly and kind of a downer, which is how historians describe the 14th president’s wife, Jane.

George Washington

Richard Nixon

Gerald Ford

There’s no doubt that the father of our nation was, in many ways, a catch: great dancer, extremely wealthy and with excellent selfcontrol — he concealed both his temper and relentless ambition. “And he had manly, huge shoulders and giant hands,” Kate says. “Though I think he might have been carrying a torch for his childhood love, so you’d have to get over that.” As J.D. helpfully points out, however, “that might be true of your current boyfriend, too.”

But J.D.’s not necessarily Team Washington.

“If you like the bad boys, he’s probably not your guy,” he says, denouncing Washington as “almost like a boring boyfriend.”

Speaking of bad boys: “He’s gonna spy on your enemies and he’ll be intensely loyal to you,” Kate says of Nixon. “And if somebody has any dirt on you, he might order a break-in to their office to steal it.” The always cautious J.D. notes that “intensely loyal” could, in time, translate to stalking. Still, Nixon had a penchant for love letters, would likely refer to you as “thee” instead of “you” and wouldn’t make you wear fancy clothes. He once assured the nation that his wife didn’t own a mink coat, but rather a “respectable Republican cloth coat.” Thee could get used to that lack of pressure.

J.D. puts in a good word for Ford, who modeled during his college years and posed for an illustration that graced the cover of Cosmopolitan in 1942. (Attractiveness? Check.) “But he was also just a good guy,” J.D. says. “He didn’t have quite the same insatiable thirst for power that some of these presidents have.” Ford is the only U.S. president to have been an Eagle Scout, and as a college football player, he protested on behalf of a black teammate who was being discriminated against by another team. Hot tip from Kate: Plan a girls trip to his presidential museum in Grand Rapids, Mich. “They have a whole section of photos of him when he was young,” she says.

Been there, done that? Do it again.

SOME D.C. ACTIVITIES NEVER GET OLD, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU REVISIT THEM Doing the same thing over and over again was Bill Murray’s nightmare in “Groundhog Day.” But if you ask us, it’s a dream.

There are some activities that bear repeating until they become like old friends. “That’s how friendships form,” says Dr. Andrea Bonior, a clinical psychologist and Express’ Baggage Check columnist. “We judge people more positively the more we’re exposed to them.” That predictability can be good for our brains: Think about all those times you’ve sought out a favorite comfort food or turned on a movie you’ve seen a million times to unwind after a rough day. “The more we have those experiences and build up those positive memories, the more we’re conditioned to find comfort there,” Bonior says. Given that the real Groundhog Day returns on Friday, we figured we’d share some of the best things around here to do again and again and again and again and … SADIE DINGFELDER, RUDI GREENBERG, LORI MCCUE, KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) AND HOLLEY SIMMONS (FOR EXPRESS)

Museums that just get more interesting Air and Space Museum and Hirshhorn: With repeat visits to a museum, your goal becomes less about the breadth of the exhibits and more about the depth. Add children and the repetition gets even more interesting. In fact, I’ve spent enough time in the “How Things Fly” exhibit of the Air and Space Museum to almost actually be able to explain how things fly. Every trip into town with my young son also requires a stop at the Hirshhorn so he can see Ron Mueck’s “Untitled (Big Man).”

After our pilgrimage to the “heee, Mom, he’s naked and you can see his thing” sculpture, we routinely take a walk through the rest of the museum and it’s always surprising to me how much he enjoys it. It’s a way to see the same art through ever-evolving eyes. K.P.K.

Music worth hearing again

Nature trips that will have you beating a path

Greensky Bluegrass: For the past two years, I’ve spent the first weekend of February at the 9:30 Club, watching Greensky Bluegrass play three concerts on three consecutive nights. You might think I’m crazy. I think you’d be crazy to go to only one. Jam bands — and other acts that change their sets regularly — are built to be seen multiple times, often in a row. “The shows have different vibes because of the way we write [setlists], so one will have a more psychedelic vibe, and one will have a more aggressive, rock ’n’ roll vibe and one will have a more song vibe,” singer Paul Hoffman, above left, told Express in 2016. “We try to make them all even, but it never really works that way.”

I appreciate the experience more this way: I can stand in a different spot each night and get varying perspectives, and if I don’t love one night, there’s always tomorrow. This year, the band has slimmed the run down to a sold-out 9:30 Club show and its debut at The Anthem. If you scored tickets to both, you’ll see — and hear — what I mean. R.G. 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Fri.,

Rock Creek Park: Naturalist Melanie Choukas-Bradley, above, hikes the same 2-mile loop in Rock Creek Park nearly every day, but the Boundary Bridge Trail is never really the same. Mushrooms spring up overnight, tulip trees stretch new branches skyward, an unseen fox leaves his musky scent on a log. If you visit often enough, you might also notice slower changes — a river bend’s gradual straightening, a steepening hillside, the slow creep of fissures across a rocky cliff. “The more tuned in you are by really knowing a particular place, the more you’re going to see,” ChoukasBradley says. “It seems a little counterintuitive, but in nature, going back to the same place can actually be more thrilling than going to see a new place.” Over time, you can build a relationship with the flora and fauna on your favorite paths. For instance, all last winter Choukas-Bradley watched the slow swell of lemon-colored buds on one particular spicebush. “When those buds finally burst, it was such a miracle,” she says. “I appreciated it even more because they were buds I’d been watching for months.” S.D.

8 p.m., sold out; The Anthem, 901 Wharf St. SW; Sat., 7:30 p.m., $40.

A good starting point for the Boundary Bridge Trail is the parking lot off Beach Drive at the Maryland/D.C. border.

MORE BANDS TO SEE MULTIPLE TIMES: Tedeschi Trucks Band: After two years of three-night stands at the Warner, married musicians Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks are setting up shop in D.C. for four shows over two weekends with their big, soulful band. Try going to one show each weekend to see what difference a week makes. Warner

the parking lot on the Mount Vernon trail off the George Washington Memorial Parkway.

Phish: Sure, you could just go to the veteran jam band’s Saturday show at Merriweather, but then you’d be ignoring the warning of Phans to “never miss a Sunday show.” Don’t believe them? In 2014 at the venue, the day after a fairly standard Saturday show, Phish broke out three rarities and kept weaving bits of “Tweezer” in and out of other songs. Merriweather Post

The best restaurants for seconds … and thirds …

Brothers and Sisters: The last time I dined at Brothers and Sisters in The Line hotel, I almost forgot to eat. I was too busy staring at the steady stream of ultra-cool guests milling about the lobby. The people-watching at Erik BrunerYang’s all-day restaurant is supreme, and because the place is adjoined to the lobby, the crowd is a revolving mix of out-of-towners, hip locals and fourlegged friends (the hotel is pet-friendly). One dish — the knife-cut noodles with sausage and bitter greens ($13, left) — was so delicious I ordered it twice.

Devouring it the second time proved to be a different experience, because the surrounding crowd had shifted so rapidly. H.S. 1770 Euclid St. NW

Where to see movies you’ve already seen Repeat viewings: Everyone has those movies that you have to watch whenever they’re on TV; I’ve seen the censored version of “Goodfellas” as many times as there are F-bombs in the original.

But nobody, myself included, re-watches enough movies on the big screen. My two best moviegoing moments from last year were packed-house viewings of comedies — “Blazing Saddles” and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” at the Kennedy Center and Strathmore, respectively — that I had previously seen only at home.

It’s not only old favorites that get new life on a second viewing; last year I saw “Wonder Woman,” “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming” each twice within a week. Repeat viewings allow you to settle in and concentrate not just on what the movie is telling you, but how it’s doing it. K.P.K.

EXHIBITS The bulk of the art on display at the National Gallery of Art, like that of most national galleries, was made by mainstream artists — often well-heeled white guys who went to art school or apprenticed with other wellknown painters. This week, the gallery opened an exhibit of works created by unschooled artists — a group more likely to include women, poor folks and African-Americans.

For curator Lynne Cooke, “Outliers and American Vanguard Art” is even more notable for being the rare outsider-art exhibit to also feature pieces by the mainstream artists who championed their colleagues on the fringes.

“Over the last century, the major advocates of self-taught artists have been professional artists,” Cooke says. “They often found the self-taught artists to be inspirational models of independence and a creative drive indifferent to the fortunes of the market or to current tastes.”

Jim Nutt, one of the most celebrated living American artists, helped shine a spotlight on the work of Joseph Yoakum, a selftaught artist of African-American and American Indian descent.

Born in 1890, Yoakum didn’t begin drawing until late in life, Cooke says. His early years were full of travel and adventure: He grew up in Missouri, and then ran away and joined the circus in his early teens. He worked as a coal

miner in Kansas before being drafted into the Army at the beginning of America’s involvement in World War I. He traveled after the war and eventually settled in Chicago, where he began drawing decades later, spurred on by a dream he had in 1962.

In 1967, “he hung some of his drawings in the window of his storefront apartment, and someone teaching at Chicago State College saw them and got very excited,” Cooke says. That led to small, local exhibitions where “influential artists like Jim Nutt saw them, and felt really vindicated in their own bid for independence and fantasy and the need to follow their own imagination.”

Nutt and other insider artists pushed for increasingly prestigious exhibits for Yoakum’s drawings, which brought his work into the mainstream.

The “Outliers” exhibit focuses on three time periods when the mainstream was particularly open to self-taught artists like Yoakum. The first, from 1924 to 1943, was driven by the Great Depression and the government funding of artists through the Work Projects Administration.

The second period, 1968 to 1992, was brought on by the civil rights movement and pushes for equality by women and gays. The third, from 1998 to 2013, was driven by globalization that resulted in a collapse of distinctions, whereby insider and outsider artists could be shown side by side, Cooke says.

Where are we now? It’s hard to

Joseph Yoakum The self-taught Yoakum, who died in 1972, said he routinely started drawing without knowing what the end result would be. His 1969 piece above, which is included in the exhibit, turned out to be of a national park in Utah. “It’s a celebration of the wonders of nature,” Cooke says. “Some of the dark shaded areas, they help give mass and volume to the mountain. … They suggest the movement of clouds and sun. It’s a very alive landscape.”

Jim Nutt Nutt’s 1970 piece “Toot-Toot Woo-Woo,” right, also featured in the exhibit, is vivid, graphic and cartoonish, as well as exactingly crafted. The reverse-glass technique he used — painting on the back side of a piece of clear Plexiglas — required that he plan every single detail before applying a single drop, since the process doesn’t allow for painting over mistakes.

say, but artists seem to be setting the tone, Cooke says: “Museums of all kinds — whether historical collections like this one, or modern and contemporary art museums — are thinking about diversity and inclusion and exploring it in a number

‘In the Fade’ “In the Fade” won the Golden Globe for best foreign language film and its star, Diane Kruger, won best actress at last year’s Cannes film festival, but Oscar-nominated it’s not. What do they know? It’s a gripping revenge story that makes the bold assertion that Nazis are bad people and do bad things.

Kruger (“Inglourious Basterds”) plays a woman who loses her husband and son in a neo-Nazi terrorist bombing — and is terrifying in her need for justice.

And, since it’s Kruger’s first role in a German-language film, it’s kind of weird to see her speaking in her native tongue. Landmark West End Cinema, 2301 M St. NW; opens Fri., $10-$12.50.

In this Shakespearean spoof, it’s 1595 and two playwright brothers are desperate to get one up on the Bard by putting on the very first musical the world’s ever seen.

Don’t worry: You don’t have to be an English major to appreciate the gags in this musical comedy, which scored 10 Tony nominations in its Broadway run. National Theatre, 1321 Pennsylvania Ave. NW; Tue. through Feb. 18, $48-$178.

GENE SCHIAVONE

MUSIC

THROUGH SUNDAY

American Ballet Theatre’s ‘Whipped Cream’ Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; through Sun., $49-$249.

“Whipped Cream” is a sweets-focused story ballet that makes a lot more sense, plot-wise, than that other sugar high, “The Nutcracker.” Here, a little boy overindulges at a pastry shop and falls into a delirium populated by ballerinas impersonating a variety of sweets. He then lands in a psychedelic nightmare of a hospital where the sweets and a giant snow yak attempt to save him from huge-headed nurses and doctors. It’s all set to a century-old — and somewhat forgotten — score by Richard Strauss in this reimagined version from the American Ballet Theatre.

Fri. BOOKS

Rose McGowan, ‘Brave’ Now that every problem in Hollywood has been solved, actress-turned-#MeToo activist Rose McGowan is hitting the road to talk about her new book.

Part memoir and part manifesto, “Brave” delves into McGowan’s childhood in a cult, the dark side of show business and how she’s speaking out against misogyny.

Wafia Wafia had been studying biomedicine when she dropped out of school to pursue music.

Now it looks as if that backup plan wasn’t even necessary. The Australian singer-songwriter’s buoyant style of electro-soul pop has global appeal. Her music feels good, but underneath the glittering synths and silky voice are political statements on the Syrian refugee crisis and the exploration

Chase Rice: Country singer Chase Rice has described his newest album, “Lambs and Lions,” as “the most true record” he has ever written. It’s a culmination of several personal tragedies (and a bit of good fortune — taking second place on the television show “Survivor”) that led to him picking up the guitar and escaping into music. Friday, his tour rolls into the Fillmore in Silver Spring.

Guns and death haunt Mirren in ‘Winchester’

Rose McGowan shares the harrowing details of her past in a memoir, ‘Brave’ she bounced between living with her father, an often cruel man with manic tendencies, and her mother, who once had McGowan committed for drug addiction.

She was just 13 at the time and claims she had just tried acid for the first time. McGowan says she escaped from that facility and became a teen runaway, living on the streets for a year before settling with her aunt in Seattle.

GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

BOOKS In her new memoir “Brave,” out now, Rose McGowan opens up about her past trauma. The actress and vocal women’s rights advocate has previously disclosed some of these horrors — including assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein — but reading these anecdotes collectively has a startling effect. Here’s a look.

She was born into a cult McGowan’s parents were living in Italy with the Children of God when she was born in 1973. She remembers it as the first but not last cult she was a part of, because she believes Hollywood is its own sect. Her early memories include being beaten by cult members when she refused to say she had taken God into her heart and the day her father took a second wife. After the group started advocating for sexual relationships between adults and children, her father fled with his kids and second wife, leaving McGowan’s mother to find her own escape.

She was a homeless runaway Once her parents both made their way back to the United States,

Her first love was murdered After escaping an abusive relationship at age 15, McGowan says she started dating a club owner named Brett Cantor. Things seemed to be looking up for her, relationship-wise. Then, out of nowhere, he was stabbed to death.

The murder is still unsolved, “but I have been trying for years to remedy that,” McGowan writes.

She refuses to name a few men McGowan was one of the first stars to go public with allegations against Weinstein, but she does not want to say his name.

Instead, she refers to him as “the Studio Head” or “the Monster.”

McGowan details her allegations that her first business meeting

with him took a horrifying turn when he forced her into his “Jacuzzi room” and performed oral sex on her against her will.

She also doesn’t name her exboyfriend, Robert Rodriguez, who directed her in “Planet Terror” in 2007 (part of a collaboration with Quentin Tarantino called “Grindhouse”), instead referring to him as “RR.” He was jealous and prone to erratic behavior.

Eventually, Rodriguez and Tarantino sold the film to Weinstein.

Another man McGowan leaves anonymous is Ben Affleck. She refers to him only as her “Phantoms” co-star when she recounts how she says he responded to her story about Weinstein’s abuse by

saying, “Goddamn it. I told him to stop doing that.”

“Charmed” was not a great experience Working on the Aaron Spelling series was soul-crushing and exhausting, according to McGowan. In retrospect, she is shocked she worked with only one female director during her five years on the show.

The mostly male crew “would snicker in disrespect when she would direct them,” McGowan writes. “I feel horribly about not fighting for her more, but I didn’t fully understand the dynamics of what was happening.”

STREAMING

Lane and Kinnear join ‘House of Cards’

Netflix’s political drama “House of Cards” has resumed filming its sixth and final season, and has added Oscar nominees Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear to its cast, Variety reported. The series halted production and underwent a shake-up last fall when Kevin Spacey was fired following multiple sexual harassment allegations. Netflix said the show will pivot to focus on Robin Wright’s Claire Underwood. (EXPRESS) Kendrick Lamar-curated “Black Panther” soundtrack gets Feb. 9 release date

FILM Helen Mirren doesn’t believe her new film “Winchester,” out Friday, is a horror flick, but rather a ghost story with foreign roots and a distinct American element — the psychological impact of gun deaths.

The actress portrays the real-life Sarah Winchester, a 19th-century heiress who inherited a massive fortune from her husband’s creation of the Winchester repeating rifle shortly after the Civil War. In the film, Sarah believes she is haunted by those killed by the firearm, which allowed for more rapid firing than previous rifles.

“It’s a ghost story, hopefully in the tradition, the very grand tradition, of Japanese ghost stories, ghost films,” Mirren says. “The Japanese love ghost stories and have great belief in the power of the ancestor spirits, of the ancestors, as many cultures do.”

Despite the themes of “Winchester,” Mirren says the film isn’t trying to make any broad statements about gun ownership in America.

“What I like about it … is that it doesn’t deal with whether you can carry guns or not. That’s kind of not the issue,” she says.

“The issue is more putting the question mark or the weight of moral decision upon the people who make a fortune from making arms — whether they’re guns, bombs, grenades. … I see it personally in a much more global way.” MIKE CIDONI LENNOX (AP)
