A truck driver heard a strange thud while driving along an Ohio highway Tuesday. He said he pulled over and found a plane’s landing gear sticking out of his trailer, which had been clipped by a small plane making a low approach. No one was injured in the collision near the Fremont airport. The plane’s pilot — who was taking a short practice flight — landed the aircraft on its belly. Officials were investigating why he came in so low. (AP)
The housing market is hot — but is it this hot? The listing on Zillow for a home in Cayce, S.C., has this warning: “Don’t bother asking” about the occupant living upstairs. The listing says the buyer will assume responsibility for the mystery tenant, who has a lease but does not pay rent, UPI reported. The $130,000 listing sternly warns potential buyers: “Upstairs apartment cannot be shown under any circumstances.” (EXPRESS)
Everyone knows you shouldn’t drink and drive. But drinking and walking poses risks, too. A woman in Lower Burrell, Pa., wound up in bed in the wrong house after departing a bar on foot Friday night. She intended to go to a relative’s house, but ended up at a stranger’s home. When she couldn’t get in, she climbed through the window of a nearby house. The owner called police when he found her asleep in a bed. (AP)

page three Interfaith team to aid victims of hate crimes
Anti-Semitic graffiti was painted on the Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia in April.
mosque, she or someone in her community can contact us and say, ‘I feel unsafe. Can you send someone out?’ And we would go.” More than 50 people from different faiths, including Baha’i and Zoroastrianism, gathered in a Mormon church’s basketball gym in Chevy Chase last week for the first meeting for people interested in learning about the new rapid-response team.
The model for the team — formally named the Washington Interfaith Response and Outreach Coalition, or WIROC — relies on churches, synagogues, mosques and other communities signing up as “solidarity congregations.” When the network gets word of a hate crime, a trained first responder will contact the victim to provide coaching, such as advice on how to report the crime to law enforcement, and to ask what sort of help the victim needs from the community. Then WIROC will mobilize the whole network to help in whatever way the victim needs, such as cleaning up graffiti or replacing stolen or damaged property. The Rev. Jean Thompson said her United Church of Christ congregation shares its space with a Muslim congregation and a Hispanic Seventh-day Adventist congregation, and she worries about discrimination against both groups. “All of them are vulnerable, more vulnerable than usual in this climate. And that’s part of what brought me here,” she said.

Zoo shows off mothers and their babies Just in time for Mother’s Day, the National Zoo has released photos and videos of some of its baby animals with their moms. In one, Batang — a female orangutan — is seen teaching her young one, Redd, to use hay to get peanut butter out of a toy. In another, a sea lion is seen nibbling on a fish-filled ball. The zoo’s #MothersDay promotion could help raise funds to provide enrichment for the animals. That can mean giving them chew toys, for example, or recording sounds similar to what they hear in the wild. (TWP)

Now, Rom-Rymer is organizing a team of volunteers who will be prepared to spring into action when a religiously or racially motivated hate crime occurs in the Washington area. “Whenever there is an incident, our response is going to be in person,” said Rom-Rymer, who works as a community organizer for the InterFaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington.

Police: Hate crime charge after assault on woman
A woman convicted of killing her husband and their live-in mistress in the Maryland home they shared received 60 years in prison. Ann Anastasi, 44, was sentenced Tuesday. Prosecutors say in 2015, police found Anthony Anastasi Jr., 40, fatally shot and Jacqueline Riggs, 25, stabbed to death in the Lothian home they shared with Ann Anastasi. Prosecutors say the three were in a relationship, but Riggs and Anthony Anastasi had moved into the basement. (AP)
Police in Virginia have charged a white man with a hate crime after, they say, he intentionally struck a black woman’s car and pulled her from her vehicle. Chesterfield County police say Matthew Ellis, 27, began shouting at the driver last week while she was waiting to make a turn, then followed her, rear-ended her car and pulled her from her vehicle. Others helped the woman, who was able to escape. Ellis is charged with hate-crime assault and other offenses. (AP)
Despite efforts, region still has seen 9 percent increase over 5 years
THE DISTRICT The number of homeless people in the nation’s capital has declined 11 percent since last year, a drop that was driven by reductions in the number of homeless families counted in D.C. and mirrored declines in homelessness throughout the region, according to a report released Wednesday. The reduction was a welcome development for Mayor Muriel Bowser in her struggles to curtail D.C.’s high rate of homelessness. But the news was not all good.

by 33 percent in Arlington County. Kathleen Sibert, the president and chief executive of the Arlington Street Peoples Network, noted that because Arlington has a relatively small homeless population, modest fluctuations can create dramatic-looking percentage increases or decreases. Just 58 more people were counted in 2017 than in 2016, bringing the total homeless population in Arlington County to 232, nearly the same number of people as were counted in 2015. “We look at the trend line over several years, more than the year-to-year anomalies,” Sibert said. Since 2013, the county’s homeless population has dropped 52 percent, she noted. PETER JAMISON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The count is based on reporting by homeless shelters and a one-time count by volunteers who walked the streets on the night of Jan. 25.

He seeks to revive the South Korean “sunshine policy” of the early 2000s, engaging North Korea rather than isolating it.

A new species of dinosaur now has a name, taking its inspiration from the movie “Ghostbusters,” the L.A. Times reports. In the May edition of Royal Society Open Science, scientists describe an ankylosaur found in Montana that looks like the demigod Zuul, the Gatekeeper of Gozer, which possesses Sigourney Weaver’s character, Dana Barrett, in the 1984 film. In a rare discovery, the complete head and tail of the dinosaur were found in Montana in 2014. It now has a name: Zuul crurivastator. Zuul was a horned, club-tailed dino with a body that stretched about 20 feet. Two horns behind its eyes inspired the comparison to the movie’s demon. It’s is the most complete ankylosaur ever found in North America, and helps scientists understand ankylosaurs on this continent. (EXPRESS)

Turkey slams U.S. plan to arm Kurds in Syria Erdogan urges Trump to reconsider arming of ‘terror organization’
Finally, some good news for cheese lovers
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is due to meet with President Trump next week.

SYRIA Turkey on Wednesday slammed the Trump administration’s decision to supply Syrian Kurdish fighters with weapons against the Islamic State and demanded that it be reversed, heightening tensions between the NATO allies days before the Turkish leader heads to Washington for a meeting with President Trump. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the fight against terrorism “should not be led with another terror organization” — a reference to the Syrian Kurdish militia, known as the YPG, which Turkey considers an extension of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which has been waging a decades-old insurgency in the southeast and is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the U.S. and other Western countries. “We want to know that our allies will side with us and not with terror organizations,” he said. Turkey, which has sent troops to northern Syria in an effort to curtail Kurdish expansion along its borders, has for months tried to lobby Washington to cut off ties with the Kurds and work instead with Turkish-backed opposition fighters in the fight for ISIS’ de facto capital, Raqqa. But the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, who have
OH, GO AHEAD …
Key victory for Kurds The Syrian Democratic Forces said Wednesday that they have captured the country’s largest dam from ISIS.

driven ISIS from much of northern Syria with the help of U.S.-led airstrikes, are among the most effective ground forces battling the extremists. Pentagon spokeswoman Dana W. White called the militia “the only force on the ground that can successfully seize Raqqa in the near future.”
Ilham Ahmed, a top official in the Syrian Democratic Forces’ political office, hailed the U.S. decision to provide heavier arms, saying it carries “political meaning” and would “legitimize” the Kurdish-led force. Erdogan said he would take up the issue during a planned meeting with Trump next Tuesday. “I hope that they will turn away from this wrong,” he said. The spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS, Col. John Dorrian, said Wednesday that the weapons would be delivered to the Kurds soon. The weapons will not be reclaimed by the U.S. after specific missions are completed, he added. The Trump administration has not specified the kinds of arms to be provided. PHILIP ISSA
Eating cheese, yogurt and milk — even the full-fat versions — does not increase the risk of stroke or heart attacks, according to a team of researchers that analyzed 29 different studies on the subject. The meta-analysis, published in the European Journal of Epidemiology last month, found that eating dairy had a “neutral” impact on human health, The Guardian reports. The analysis looked at studies involving 938,465 people from around the world undertaken over the last 35 years, and found no association between consuming high or low-fat dairy with heart disease or stroke. It contradicts the belief that dairy’s high saturated fat content can be harmful. Researchers called that “a misconception.” (EXPRESS)

Safety risks found in many approved drugs HEALTH Almost a third of drugs cleared by the Food and Drug Administration pose safety risks that are identified only after their approval, according to a study published Tuesday. The researchers said the study, which appeared in JAMA, shows the need for ongoing monitoring of new treatments years after they hit the market. The researchers reviewed 222 products approved between 2001 and 2010 and followed them through February of this year. With 32 percent of the medications, they found, the FDA took some kind of action to deal with safety issues that emerged after approval. Three of the drugs were withdrawn from the market. The FDA also required 61 new black-box warnings and issued 59 safety communications to inform doctors and consumers about newly identified concerns. Some products had more than one boxed warning added or safety communication issued over the time of the study. The median time for action was 4.2 years after approval. Among the drugs with added warnings: Humira, used for arthritis; Abilify, used for depression; and Pradaxa, a blood thinner. The withdrawn drugs and the reason: Bextra, an antiinflammatory medicine (heart problems); Raptiva, a psoriasis drug (rare nervous system illness); and Zelnorm, a bowel illness drug (heart problems).

Yazidi youth struggle to shed the effects of training with extremists KABARTO CAMP, IRAQ They made the captive children malnourished and weak from hunger. The Islamic State militants would tell them, “In paradise, you’ll be able to eat whatever you want. But first you have to get to paradise, and you do that by blowing yourself up.” The lesson was part of the indoctrination inflicted by the militants on boys from Iraq’s Yazidi religious minority after the extremist group overran the community’s towns and villages in northern Iraq. The group forced hundreds of boys, some as young as 7 or 8, into training to become fighters and suicide bombers, infusing them with its murderous ideology. Now boys who escaped captivity are struggling to regain some normalcy, living in camps for the displaced. After surviving beatings, watching horrific atrocities, and being held for months or years apart from their parents, they are plagued by nightmares. “Even here, I’m still very afraid,” 17-year-old Ahmed

Iraqi boys recall horrors of life in ISIS captivity
Akram, now 10, shows scars from when he was captured by ISIS.
Ameen Koro said from the Esyan Camp in northern Iraq, where he now lives with his mother, sister and a brother, the only surviving members of his family. “I can’t sleep properly because I see them in my dreams.” Ahmed was 14 when the militants stormed his town. The family tried to flee, but their car couldn’t hold everyone. So Ahmed, his 13-year-old brother Amin and four cousins set off on foot until their father could come back for them. But the militants seized them, and Ahmed’s father was never seen again. “I was very scared. I’ve never seen such a thing. They were all very big bearded men, they looked like monsters,” he said.
China releases 2 human rights lawyers after 22 months
Ahmed was among some 200 Yazidi boys sent to a twomonth training camp in Tal Afar. Their days began with earlymorning prayer and military training exercises. They learned to shoot AK-47s and pistols. They watched videos on how to use a suicide belt, throw a grenade or behead a person. Akram Rasho Khalaf was only 7 when his town was overrun. His family tried to flee, but the militants opened fire and Akram suffered shrapnel and bullet wounds to his abdomen and hand. He was brought to Raqqa, ISIS’ self-declared capital. There the militants would throw balls at the children’s heads, Akram said. If anyone cried, they were beaten. Those who didn’t cry were praised for being tough and told they would be suicide bombers.

Capitol Hill in turmoil over firing POLITICS Aftershocks from President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey roiled Washington on Wednesday. Democrats on Capitol Hill slowed committee business in the Senate to protest the lack of an independent investigation into Russia’s election meddling, and a growing number of Republicans questioned Trump’s decision. Comey’s firing is expected to consume Capitol Hill’s attention until the weekend and potentially through Tuesday of next week, when the former FBI director has been invited to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The panel’s chairman, who met with Comey on Monday, said the director’s dismissal will frustrate bipartisan efforts to investigate Russian interference in the election and any possible ties between the Kremlin and associates of Trump. “It creates challenges for the committee,” Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., told reporters. “An interruption in any of the access we have to the documents or the personnel would be harmful to our investigation.” The emergence of yet another Trump-related controversy also threatens to slow Senate Republicans’ progress on their agenda, including work on a health care
bill that would lay the foundation for tax reform. Senate Majority L eader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., however, downplayed the firing and sought to bring the debate back to friendlier territory. “Obamacare hasn’t lived up to its promises,” he said Wednesday on the Senate floor. “We’re working to keep our commitment to the American people to move beyond the failures of Obamacare.” Briefly addressing Comey’s firing, McConnell accused Democrats of “complaining about the removal of an FBI director who they themselves repeatedly and sharply criticized.” McConnell’s accusations of hypocrisy did little to subdue the controversy on Wednesday. Democrats responded by invoking an obscure rule that prevented committee hearings from continuing past midday — an effort to slow the Senate’s work to increase pressure on Republicans to support an independent investigation. Senate Minority L eader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., outlined several Democratic demands on the Senate floor. He said the Justice Department’s highest-ranking career civil servant, rather than Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — a Trump appointee who assumed office just 10 days ago — should appoint a special prosecutor to lead the Russia investigation. And he called for both Rosenstein and Attorney General

POLITICS In the days before his firing by President Trump, FBI Director James Comey told U.S. lawmakers he had asked the Justice Department for more resources to pursue the bureau’s investigation into Russia’s interference in last year’s presidential election, three U.S. officials said Wednesday. The officials said Comey met last week with Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, to make the request. Comey then alerted lawmakers with ties to the concurrent congressional investigations into Russia’s meddling, according to the officials, who insisted on anonymity in order to disclose the private conversations. “I understand that there have been additional requests. That’s all I can say,” California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, told reporters. However, Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said reports that Comey had requested more funding or other resources for the Russia investigation are “totally false.” The abrupt firing of Comey threw into question the future of the FBI’s investigation and immediately raised suspicions of an effort to stymie a probe that has shadowed the administration. Trump has ridiculed the investigations as “a hoax” and denied any campaign involvement with the Russians.

Flynn subpoenaed The Senate Intelligence Committee issued a subpoena to force former national security adviser Michael Flynn to turn over documents related to the panel’s probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 elections, including possible ties between the Kremlin and the presidential campaigns. It is the first subpoena the committee has announced in the course of its investigation — a step Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., was long hesitant to take. Burr and vice chair Mark Warner, D-Va., originally requested the documents addressed in the Wednesday subpoena in a letter dated April 28. In announcing the subpoena, the Senate committee said that Flynn “declined, through counsel, to cooperate with the Committee’s request.” (TWP)

Schumer also urged Comey to testify next week. “There are so many unanswered questions that only Mr. Comey can answer,” he said. We Democrats hope and expect that he will still come before the Senate in some capacity.” While Democrats were discussing strategy, Republicans were trying to move on — a sign of how unwelcome the Comey developments are for their agenda. At a Wednesday lunch attended by Senate Republicans, Comey barely came up in the group discussion, according to attendees. “We were focused on health care and there might have been 120 seconds devoted to it,” said Bob Corker, R-Tenn.

POLITICS All but ignoring the unfurling drama over Russia and the U.S. election, President Trump on Wednesday sought to advance prospects for cooperation in Syria and elsewhere in a rare Oval Office meeting with Vladimir Putin’s top diplomat. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s talks with Trump were already destined to be a closely watched affair, given the dire state of U.S.-Russian relations. Yet Trump’s stunning decision on the eve of the meeting to fire FBI Director James Comey — who had been overseeing investigations of alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election and possible collusion by Trump’s campaign — injected further intrigue into Lavrov’s first visit to Washington since 2013. Trump “raised the possibility of broader cooperation on resolving conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere,” according to a White House statement. Trump and Lavrov met in private, though both sides cast the session as a sign of ties having improved since the U.S. leader’s

assessment of them last month as at an “all-time low.” On Wednesday, they focused on areas of budding agreement, and Lavrov blamed the recent acrimony on former President Barack Obama. “The previous administration bent over backwards to undermine the solid foundation of our relations,” Lavrov told reporters at the Russian Embassy after meeting Trump. “We have to start at a very low level.” In contrast, he credited Trump and Secretary of State
Rex Tillerson, whom he met earlier in the day, with taking a “businesslike” approach that is “free from ideology,” focused on reaching agreements. None were apparently reached Wednesday. The meeting was Trump’s highest level face-to-face contact with a Russian official since taking office. The last time Lavrov visited the American capital was before Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine and intervened militarily in Syria to help President Bashar al-Assad — actions
that fueled U.S.-Russian tensions. The Russian diplomat steadfastly refused to weigh in on Trump’s decision to fire Comey. He called it a U.S. decision, echoing Putin, who said Russia had nothing to do with Comey’s dismissal. “Was he fired? You’re kidding,” Lavrov said sarcastically. Lavrov chalked up the controversy to “noise” and to “false news” — invoking Trump’s frequent references to the Russia allegations as “fake news.” JOSH LEDERMAN AND VIVIAN SALAMA (AP)

”This scandal is going to go on,” McCain told a group of foreign diplomats Tuesday night. “This is a centipede. I guarantee you there will be more shoes to drop, I can just guarantee it.” He called Trump’s actions against Comey “unprecedented” and said the position of FBI director has held special meaning in American public life dating back decades.
“While the case for removal … was thorough, his removal at this particular time will raise questions,” Corker said. “It is essential that ongoing investigations are fulsome and free of political interference until their completion, and it is imperative that President Trump nominate a well-respected and qualified individual to lead the bureau at this critical time.”

“The timing of this and the reasoning for it doesn’t make sense to me,” Burr said. But the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said there’s no need for a special prosecutor to investigate Russia’s ties to the Trump campaign. Burr added that the firing of Comey “made our task a little more difficult, but it didn’t make it impossible, so we’ll continue.”
President Trump met on Monday with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who both voiced their concerns about James Comey, leading Trump to fire the FBI director a day later, according to White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The White House revealed the previously undisclosed Oval Office meeting during the daily briefing on Wednesday, amid a controversy over the reasoning behind Comey’s firing. “The president asked that they put their concerns and recommendations in writing,” Sanders said. Rosenstein issued a threepage letter condemning Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe during the 2016 election. Asked why Trump had not fired Comey immediately after becoming president, Sanders said that he had been considering it since the election but had given Comey “a chance.” “The president lost confidence in Comey from the day he was elected,” Sanders said. As a candidate, Trump praised Comey’s handling of the Clinton investigation. But the White House dismissed those comments. “He was a candidate for president, not the president; those are two very different things,” Sanders said. ABBY PHILLIP

Spurs hope pain doesn’t stop Kawhi
Rizzo says no deals yet since 2 injured relievers are close to returning NATIONALS The morning after Enny Romero wasted another dominant effort by Max Scherzer and committed the Nationals’ sixth blown save of the season in a 5-4, 12-inning loss at Baltimore, Nationals GM Mike Rizzo didn’t try to sugarcoat his bullpen’s performance through 33 games. But he also reaffirmed his confidence in the roster he constructed and said he wasn’t trying to trade for a reliever. “They’ve been bad,” Rizzo told the Sports Junkies on Wednesday on 106.7 The Fan. “We’ve got the best record in the National League and the bullpen’s been the worst in the league. You gotta own it. … How do you fix it is the question.” Rizzo said one answer is patience, considering that three relievers — Shawn Kelley, Koda Glover and Sammy Solis — have been on the disabled list.
“It’s tough,” Rizzo said. “Now you’re depending on players and relievers that you didn’t quite want to rely on this early in the season, and you could see the result. We’re paying for it.” But he said Kelley and Glover are “very close” to returning. Solis has been on the disabled list since April 19 with left elbow inflammation. Kelley has been on the disabled list since Saturday with a lower back strain. Glover, who last pitched April 25, was scheduled Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment at Class AA Harrisburg. Blake Treinen, who began the season as the closer, is healthy, but his ERA (8.59) is not. Romero and Matt Albers combined for three blown saves and Joe Blanton allowed at least one earned run in eight of his first 13 appearances. Entering Wednesday’s game against the Orioles, the bullpen had a 5.47 ERA — third-worst in baseball — and was allowing opposing batters to hit .287. Still, Rizzo said he wouldn’t panic.

GM: Too early to panic over bullpen woes Eaton has surgery Outfielder Adam Eaton has had surgery to repair his torn left ACL and started a rehabilitation program Wednesday that is expected to last six to nine months, general manager Mike Rizzo said. Eaton, who was hurt April 28, had surgery Tuesday. Doctors also repaired other ligament damage in the knee and the meniscus. (AP)
“I gotta trust the track record and the stuff and the past performance of these guys to believe that there are better days coming,” he said, citing excellent past statistics for relievers such as Blanton, Treinen and Kelley.
“I think you have to trust your eyes that their stuff is good,” he said. “I still believe that when these guys are healthy, this is a very, very good bullpen that can help us win a lot of games, and I’m not getting off that until they prove me wrong.” Rizzo said he wants to see how the bullpen fares after Kelley, Solis and Glover return before potentially approaching ownership about outside help.

Chris Berman’s wife, 67, dies in a traffic crash
League names Riveron new head of officiating
Defending champion Real Madrid withstood an early onslaught by Atletico Madrid on Wednesday to reach a third Champions League final in four years despite a 2-1 loss to its city rival. Atletico, which trailed 3-0 after the first leg, scored twice in the first 16 minutes at Vicente Calderon Stadium to move within a goal of sending the semifinal second leg into extra time. But Francisco “Isco” Alarcon netted a crucial away goal for Real Madrid before halftime to secure a 4-2 victory on aggregate and a spot in the final against Juventus on June 3 in Cardiff, Wales. Madrid has eliminated Atletico four years in a row. (AP)
The wife of ESPN broadcaster Chris Berman died in a traffic crash in Connecticut, the network said Wednesday. Katherine Ann Berman, 67, a teacher, was one of two victims in the two-vehicle crash at about 2:15 p.m. Tuesday in Woodbury, police said. The other victim was identified as Edward Bertulis, 87, of Waterbury. Police said the vehicles were travelling in the same direction on a two-lane road when Katherine Berman’s car struck the rear of Bertulis’ SUV, and both veered off the road. The Bermans were married for 33 years, with two adult children. Chris Berman’s 62nd birthday was Wednesday. (AP)
The NFL on Wednesday named Alberto Riveron to replace Dean Blandino as director of officiating, giving the league and its officials a win-win: The NFL gets continuity as it prepares to centralize its instant-replay system for next season — Riveron was Blandino’s chief lieutenant — while the referees’ union gets someone who has game experience. Unlike Blandino, Riveron was an NFL official (from 2004 to ’13) before joining the league office. Riveron, whose family moved to Miami from Cuba when he was 5, was the league’s first Hispanic referee. Blandino left to be a rules analyst for Fox. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

5 p.m., $18-$72. So you’re doing “Oedipus Rex” on Mother’s Day. Interesting programming choice. I confess I had not realized. I guess there are all different types of families.
How do your backgrounds in music and radio inform one another? Both involve connecting with an audience, both involve telling stories. They use different
skills, but fundamentally they are about telling people a story that they will remember and might even change the way they look at the world. Do you get nervous when it’s a live audience? It’s always nerve-wracking to go up in front of a live audience. No matter how many people are listening to the radio at any given moment, in the studio it’s just me and a guest, perhaps a director, engineer and a couple other people. There might be millions of people listening, but I’m not aware those people are out there. In a room with an audience, you
can see and hear and respond to each and every one of them.
RICHARD GERST VISUALS
If you’re looking for Ari Shapiro, odds are he’s behind a microphone. The co-host of NPR’s “All Things Considered” and occasional guest singer with the band Pink Martini will be behind another mic this weekend, narrating Igor Stravinsky’s “Oedipus Rex” in The Washington Chorus’ season-finale concert. In addition to the opera-oratorio based on the classic Sophocles play, the chorus — joined by other local choirs — will perform Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana.” Shapiro stepped out from behind all the mics to talk to Express about the show.
Ari Shapiro is the narrator for The Washington Chorus’ performance of Stravinsky’s “Oedipus Rex.”
What do you get out of that experience that you don’t get from radio? When you’re on the radio, whatever role the audience plays is more receptive. Our listeners might react in real time to whatever we’re doing on NPR, but we’re not aware of that reaction. So there’s an energy that goes back and forth between the live performer and the audience. There is that energy that you don’t get when you’re watching a movie or TV show or listening to the radio.

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER
Ups and downs: The LoC’s decor is grand, but dated In a city dominated by neoclassical temples and Brutalist fortresses, the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress stands out. This ornate granite and marble Italian Renaissanceesque palace of learning opened in 1897 to rave reviews. “The Library of Congress … is the most imposing and beautiful … building of like character in the world,” The National Tribune wrote at the time.
It didn’t take long for critics of the building to voice their opinions. “The whole lacks gravity and unity and smacks of ostentation,” wrote one detractor, in 1899. “A dreadful medley” and “overlavish,” sniped others. Decades later, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who felt the ornate building clashed with the rest of Capitol Hill, wanted the bright gold dome removed. On a recent afternoon, I decided to render my own opinion. As I climbed three flights of stairs to the visitors’
entrance, my bad knee joined the chorus of critics. My fellow tourists — most of whom seemed eligible for Social Security — appeared to agree. “So. Many. Steps,” a woman with a cane muttered. Once I got inside, a security guard sent me down three flights of stairs to the tourmustering area. There, a woman in flat shoes, who had hung her ugly government ID on a snazzy pearl-and-gold lanyard, introduced herself as our guide. “I’ve been giving tours for 20 years and this building never gets old,” she said, coaxing us back up all those steps to the top floor of the building. “There’s always more to see.” I paused on a staircase to down some Advil and saw that she wasn’t kidding. Decoration drips off of every surface of the Jefferson Building: gilded rosettes on the ceiling, tile mosaics on the floor, statues
wedged into seemingly every corner. And these ornaments aren’t merely pretty — they all mean something. For instance, in one painting, the muse of lyric poetry is attended by graceful female figures representing passion, beauty, mirth, pathos, truth and devotion. As I considered the mural, a school tour group passed by. “They’re all naked,” exclaimed one kid with heartfelt artistic appreciation. Around then, one of the sharper-eyed members of my tour group — a retired librarian from Wisconsin — noticed something was missing. “But where are the books?” she asked. These days, most Library of Congress books are kept in other buildings. That wasn’t always the case, our guide said: “When the Jefferson Building opened, it contained state-of-the-art conveyor belts to transport books to congressional office buildings. Now, we use carts.” We continued to a balcony overlooking the main reading room and gazed up at the dome. “The artist Edwin Blashfield painted 12 figures on the dome representing the civilizations that, he felt, represented human progress, beginning with ancient Egypt’s invention of writing and culminating in America’s contributions to science,” our guide explained. Actually, Egyptians weren’t the inventors of writing. But that painting and other art in the Jefferson Building illustrate America’s sense of itself at the beginning of the 20th century “as the natural inheritor of all the world’s knowledge and the leading edge of progress in every field,” our guide said.

misogyny of that moment, when women were considered good inspiration but not much else. “There are only two historical women depicted in the entire building,” our guide noted. “One is the Greek poet Sappho,” whose name we saw written on the ceiling near the mural with the naked ladies. “The other, I’m saving for the end of our tour.” In addition to interpreting world history, the decorators of the Library of Congress also attempted to illustrate cuttingedge science. That resulted in one of the stranger features of the Jefferson Building: 33 faces on the outdoor keystones, representing the planet’s primary races as determined by Smithsonian scientist Otis T. Mason. These so-called “ethnological heads” were modeled on “authentic, life-size models, chiefly of savage and barbarous peoples,” boasted the “Handbook of the Library of Congress” in 1897. Today, they stand as an unintentional monument to the folly of “scientifically” categorizing races, which led to eugenics and other horrors. A visit to the Jefferson Building, I realized, is like a tour through the minds of influential white American men at the cusp of the 20th century, and it’s a fascinating, if disturbing, experience. I appreciate their optimistic vision — all the world joined together in the common quest for knowledge — though not their smug sense of centrality in that story. “Here’s my favorite part of the tour,” our guide announced, smiling broadly as she brought us to a wall listing all 14 librarians of Congress, ending with current librarian Carla Hayden. “Last year, she became the second woman to be represented on the walls of the Jefferson Building,” the guide said. Hey, it’s a start! Next: The Staycationer samples the Mall’s virtual reality rides.

Everything here is rosé The summer wine shines at Whaley’s new outdoor destination DRINKS Late last month, Whaley’s — the seafood-oriented restaurant at Navy Yard — debuted its new Rosé Garden, a very pink patio devoted to the very-in-right-now pink drink. “Rosé’s a great wine,” Whaley’s co-owner Nick Wiseman says, and not just a cheap throwaway cooler. There are serious winemakers around the world creating rosés with “big red wine grapes,” he says. The opening menu at the garden, located across from Whaley’s and adjacent to the pedestrian bridge at Yards Park, features 11 wines. Some come from such countries as Italy,
France, Lebanon and Greece, plus there are domestic examples from Virginia and California. The menu includes a couple of beers and two variations on the highball (one made with gin, strawberry tonic and cucumber bitters, the other a mix of rum and orange soda). There will also be two frozen drinks — and, for better or worse, neither is the drink of last summer, frosé. Instead, you’ll be able to cool down with a pina colada ($14) and a Corpse Reviver No. 2 ($14) with gin, Cocchi Americano, orange liqueur, absinthe and lemon. The food, from Whaley’s chef Daniel Perron, consists of light snacks designed to pair with wine. That includes beach partyinspired bites like oysters on the half shell, Maryland crab toast ($20) and shrimp cocktail ($16), plus some more creative dishes
Rosé in other ways There’s more than one way to enjoy your rosé: Here are two other D.C. spots giving the wine a special spotlight. (EXPRESS) VINOTECA: The U Street Corridor bar (1940 11th St. NW) is celebrating “Rosé All May” with 17 varieties of the wine available by the glass, bottle or — if it’s a real party — magnum. The bar will also be serving up variations on rosé, including vermouth, cider, sangria and cocktails made with the wine. When you’re ready to order dessert, there’s a rosé float with homemade maraschino cherry ice cream. RITZ-CARLTON D.C.: The West End hotel (1150 22nd St. NW) is creating its own rosé garden every Friday from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Rosé is the star of cocktails and flights, and the menu also includes summery bites like oysters and grilled watermelon.
like spring radishes with trout roe ($12) and spicy tuna made into a ’nduja spread on crostini ($15). And, yes, the space, which seats 30, is very pink. Designed in conjunction with the team at Edit Lab at Streetsense, the garden is decked out in pinkand-white candy-stripe umbrellas and pink glasses. Even the menus are pink. There’s plenty of lush greenery, too, specially imported from Florida. Wiseman wants diners at the Rosé Garden to forget they’re even in Washington. “The idea,” he says, “is to be transformative.” The patio is scheduled to stay open through October.

The dancers of BalletX will bring “The Last Glass” to Union Market this weekend.
Movers and shoppers All of Union Market’s a stage for the daring dancers of BalletX ETC … If you go shopping at Union Market this weekend, you may see dancers sashaying through the parking lot or twirling on a neighboring roof. Before you join in and start dancing through the aisles yourself, consider leaving things to the professionals. “We have portable dance floors and we’re up for anything,” says Christine Cox, co-founder and artistic/executive director of Philadelphia’s BalletX, the experimental ballet company behind this weekend’s performances at the marketplace. “We’re up for any unique challenge to show the world what ballet can be.” Founded in 2005, BalletX was “created as an experiment to play and have fun,” says Cox, who was a company member with the Pennsylvania Ballet at the time. “Now we focus on worldpremiere choreography. We’re
like an incubator/lab for choreographers to create new works that stem from ballet technique and go into world dance.” Choreographed by BalletX co-founder Matthew Neenan to the music of indie band Beirut, the frolic through the market Sunday afternoon will feature all 10 of the company’s dancers and launch the new Halcyon Stage Pop-Up @ Union Market series, which brings free dance, classical music and opera performances to the public market. BalletX has never performed in a public market before (Halcyon Stage artistic director Septime Webre came up with the idea), but as a company of dancers and choreographers trained in classical ballet seeking to “create a new language of dance,” they’re up to the task, Cox says. “The dancers are very used to working together. They’re daring and courageous, and they’ll be in sneakers, not pointe shoes,” Cox says. “They’ll be more like moving sculptures in 5-by-5-foot areas throughout the market, with boomboxes in each area
playing Beirut.” If you’re the kind of person who’d rather sit down to watch dancers instead of chasing them around a busy market, there will also be a more traditional performance Saturday night at Dock 5, the market’s warehouse event space. The program will include the full Neenan-Beirut piece, “The Last Glass,” which Cox describes as “a kaleidoscope of stories.” (The piece was shortened and reworked for Sunday’s pop-up performance.) A second piece to be performed at Dock 5, “Big Ones,” is choreographer Trey McIntyre’s take on the life story of Amy Winehouse, featuring the late singer’s music. Wherever they perform, the members of BalletX are always eager to take on something new. “We dance because we love it,” Cox says, “and when a performer truly wants to connect, the community welcomes them with open arms.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

Real Estate’s new album, “In Mind,” marks a big change: Guitarist Julian Lynch joined the indie band. For bassist Alex Bleeker, above, it was a drastic — but familiar — shift: “I’ve played with him for a long time,” Bleeker says, dating back to a high school band that included Real Estate’s Martin Courtney. Before the band’s D.C. show, Bleeker shared three songs that popped into his head. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)
1
’Estimated Prophet’ Grateful Dead
Bleeker is a Deadhead who has staged several tributes to the band. This Bob Weir-sung reggae rocker is on his mind because “I’ve been to California recently and the [Golden State-referencing] chorus holds a special place in my heart.”
2
’You’re So Vain’ David Axelrod
Funk and jazz producer David Axelrod died in February, which led Bleeker to dig into his music, particularly this cover of Carly Simon’s classic tell-off. “I like that song in general — it’s always one of my karaoke songs — but this has more of a soul groove behind it, which fits the song really well.”
3
‘Wede Harer Guzo’ Hailu Mergia
Bleeker says the song and the album of the same name, reissued last year, were “the jam of my summer. … It’s really great, classic Ethiopian organ jazz that I played the heck out of. It’s still my go-to when having people over.”

weekendpass Were you surprised by the wild success of “Serial’s” first season? Yeah. We were getting huge numbers right away. Maybe people were just holding on in case we solved [the case]. But I think people who were listening carefully knew where we were going. It seemed pretty obvious to me that, yeah, we’re not solving this thing. We have an enormous audience for Season 2, too, and it wasn’t a mystery. It’s a look at what happened to this guy, and the war in Afghanistan, and what the heck are we doing there, and how does government work.
Going where the story goes
And “S-Town” was crazy popular as well. Yeah, and “S-Town” started with “there is some giant cover-up in this small town,” but then that turns out not to be true at all. But you don’t care — the plot kind of falls away and you’re like, “I just want to be in this world with you for a while.” Do you think any story is interesting if you dig deep enough? I don’t. We kill a lot of stuff. You go down a road and realize this person who I was hoping was my main character and was going to take me through this story can’t tell it or doesn’t have much to say or is lying to me or is extremely unlikable — whatever it is. It’s not like we have a special sauce you can sprinkle on anything.

Is this going to work?” A friend just reminded me the other day that I said the same thing about Season 1. Now I remember saying, “I don’t know if this is even a thing. It’s an old case. Who’s going to care?” What I’m trying to tell myself is, if you’re doing your job right, it’s pretty common to have misgivings. Season 2 was a little more sprawling and less focused than Season 1.

even broader with Season 3? It’s not like our company mission is to get as wide an aperture as we possibly can on every story. It’s more just like, what does this story need and also where are our interests? For Season 2, our first idea when we first heard Mark Boal and Bowe Bergdahl talking to each other was just like, “Oh, we will just present you this tape. We’ll just tell the story about what it’s like to be in captivity with the Taliban for five years.” Then as I started reporting it, I was like, of course, now let’s talk to the soldiers in his unit, and now we should probably talk to his commanders, and now, wait a second, we should talk to the Taliban, and it just got bigger and bigger. We started out thinking it would be quick and easy, and it turned out to be the opposite. Sometimes the story drags you places you didn’t expect. What have you taken away from producing these podcasts? People will stay with you through really complicated material. People are interested in investigative journalism, and they are interested in a slower-paced story. Any other lessons learned? We’re trying to get better at budgeting our time. We were kind of drowning in terms of the production schedule in Season 1.
Behind the suspense At “Backstage With the Creators of Serial,” Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder will share behindthe-scenes stories about their podcast — including how they were caught off guard when amateur sleuths began their own investigations as Season 1 was unfolding. The two will discuss their theories about why the first season was so popular, and how they can no longer promise confidentiality to their sources. ”We’ll talk about what we were trying to do and what ended up happening and internally trying to manage all that stuff,” Koenig says. “And it’s fun. There’s a lot of laughs in the talk. It’s not ponderous or anything.” S.D.

Yeah, we thought so. Well, maybe it’s time to pick up some more information. The Romanian Embassy is teaming up with the Romanian Cultural Institute for a festival called Reinventing Realism: New Cinema From Romania. The event’s emphasis is on the dark, ironic style of the Romanian new wave. The month-long, 15-film celebration kicks off Saturday at 3 p.m. with “The Fixer,” about a young journalist tracking down a story involving a young prostitute; the screening will be followed by a discussion of Romanian cinema with the film’s star, Andreea Vasile, and Corneliu Porumboiu, who directed “The Treasure,” showing May 20. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; National Gallery of Art, East Building, Fourth Street and Constitution
Avenue NW; Sat. through June 14, various times and prices.
‘Obit.’ The art of obituary writing is just that — an art. Vanessa Gould’s documentary “Obit.,” about The New York Times section that handles all those stories about all those dead people, is a fascinating look at this surprisingly lively style of journalism. The film opens Friday at the E Street Cinema, and one of its subjects, Times writer Bruce Weber, will participate in a Q&A session after the 7:30 p.m. screening. If you’re interested, make sure to see the film at least once before you … well, you know. Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW; Fri., 7:30 p.m., $12. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)
Now showing in a cavern near you Dupont Underground welcomes its first play, the political ‘Protest’ STAGE “I feel like a mole,” says Susan Galbraith, “emerging from the darkness.” Galbraith is the director of “Protest,” the first play mounted at Dupont Underground, and the cavernous, subterranean space is a fitting home for the Alliance for New Music-Theatre’s production. Written by Czech playwright Vaclav Havel (who would go on to become president of Czechoslovakia and then the Czech Republic), “Protest” barely saw the light of day at first. In 1978, when Havel wrote it, it was illegal to perform his works in Czechoslovakia, because of his political opposition to the Communist regime then in power. To get around the ban, the two-person play was performed stealthily in private spaces, usually apartments. “Protest” is about a political activist, Vanek (a recurring character in Havel’s work, largely considered a stand-in for the playwright), who goes to visit a rich former colleague, Stanek, to ask a favor. Stanek also has something he needs from Vanek; as the play goes on, it becomes about whether it’s possible to function in an oppressive society without becoming part of the system. Metaphorically, the underground nature of Dupont Underground fits “Protest’s” subversive beginnings, but Galbraith found a more literal meaning in the location. “It’s my passion to develop things that are site-specific in the sense of ‘What can this space say?’ ” Galbraith says. “Dupont Circle is historically where we bring the conversation up,

A 50th anniversary production of “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead,” starring Daniel Radcliffe, just wrapped up a successful run at London’s Old Vic Theatre. A filmed performance of the show, about two of Hamlet’s friends who do not exactly make it out of the play alive, is screening this weekend as part of AFI Silver’s Stage & Screen series. The fast, funny script by Tom Stoppard (co-writer of “Shakespeare in Love”) is the one that vaulted him onto the world stage.

whether it’s civil rights or women’s rights or gay and lesbian rights. And it’s right at the nexus of what I call the ‘economic corridor’ of Connecticut Avenue and Embassy Row,” an area where the play’s themes of political and economic power take physical forms. Just because it’s a perfect fit, though, doesn’t mean it was an easy one. “When we first went in there, they didn’t have permits,” Galbraith says. “We weren’t sure how many people we were going to be able to have in there. They had electric circuitry, but pretty minimal. They didn’t have chairs. They didn’t have a stage.”
Now Dupont Underground has everything they need — including a stage that moves along the trolley tracks that used to run through the location — and the space, Galbraith says, has really started speaking. “This is ultra-intimate,” Galbraith says. For the audiences and the actors, “it’s a feeling of we’re discovering this space together, and that to me is a thrilling aspect of theater. It makes things more alive.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Twenty-year-old rapper Desiigner made waves in 2016 with his high-energy (and nearly incomprehensible) single “Panda.” A little more than a year later — and after collaborations with Kanye West, a performance at the BET Hip Hop Awards and a guest spot on Netflix’s “Bill Nye Saves the World” along the way — Desiigner is headlining the 9:30 Club, and reportedly working on his debut album.
Sat. FESTIVALS
The annual bluegrass, folk and Americana music festival brings local bands to Kingman Island on the Anacostia River, and this year’s lineup includes Justin Trawick and the Common Good, King Street Bluegrass and Charm City Junction. Cap the day with free kayaking and river tours and partake in a variety of food and drink choices from vendors on-site. Proceeds from the festival go toward Living Classrooms Foundation, a nonprofit responsible for the area’s habitat restoration and educational programming for at-risk D.C. public school students.
NEXT WEEK!
May 15 | Concert Hall This D.C.-based duo performs its own bossa nova-inspired music plus new arrangements from today’s leading young composers—Teddy Abrams, Timo Andres, Olga Bell, Chris Cerrone, and Anna Clyne. Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates kicks off the evening with an instrumental/electronica work.
Kingman Island, 575 Oklahoma Ave. NE; Sat., noon-9 p.m., $30-$125.

Marc Maron
Ted van Griethuysen is well known to Washington audiences for his decades of roles with the Shakespeare Theatre Company, but he’s also appeared in a dozen shows at Studio Theatre and three times won Helen Hayes Awards for his performances in Studio’s cozy confines. In French writer Florian Zeller’s 90-minute “The Father,” van Griethuysen plays an 80-year-old in the grip of dementia.
TV has felt a little too cheerful without Marc Maron on the air, since he ended his IFC series last summer after four seasons. Get bummed out again by seeing Maron live — if the tour’s name, “Too Real,” is any indication,

MUSIC
More than 40 breweries from across Maryland are bringing their best beers to Frederick for this annual festival, sponsored by the Brewers Association of Maryland. This is the best place to find beers that rarely leave taprooms — heck, some of the breweries pouring at the festival haven’t even opened their doors to the public yet. A ticket gets you unlimited tastings and the chance to enjoy live music, food from local restaurants, and T-shirt and craft vendors.
The D.C. duo’s electronica and world music fusion gets even weirder with the addition of a 22-piece orchestra for these two performances. Kennedy Center composer-in-residence Mason Bates also contributes his own instrumental piece to the evening. Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; Mon., 7 & 9:30 p.m., $29-$59.

There’s no crime in listening The creators of the hit ‘Murder’ podcast prove true crime isn’t niche WASHINGTONPOST.COM ANALYSIS
Yet another whitewashing controversy MANDEE JOHNSON PHOTOGRAPHY
PODCASTS One of the first things Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff figured out is that the true-crime genre isn’t just a vehicle for sometimes gruesome tales of women in jeopardy. At its most primal level, it’s storytelling. It’s town gossip, but with hatchets. And gossip is for everyone. Hardstark and Kilgariff, the hosts of podcast phenomenon “My Favorite Murder,” believe that anyone who claims not to like true crime just hasn’t found the right murder yet. Are you grossed out by serial killers like the Vampire of Sacramento (“My Favorite Murder” episode 10)? Perhaps they can interest you in a family annihilator (like episode 29 subject John List, who murdered his entire family, then started over with another one). Kilgariff, 47, once an out-ofwork actress and now a comic and writer, and Hardstark, 36 — who had a show on the Cooking Channel with her friend Alie Ward, with whom she also hosts the podcast “Slumber Party With Alie & Georgia” — met at a Halloween party in 2015. Kilgariff began talking about a horrific car accident she had witnessed, alienating every partygoer except Hardstark. Bonded by their love of murder stories and their shared desire to never again have desk jobs, they launched “My Favorite Murder” in January 2016.
Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff know you’re lying about not listening to their “My Favorite Murder” podcast.
The podcast — empathetic and profane, a cheerful, chatty vehicle for cautionary tales of death and dismemberment — is based on a simple premise: Every week, the hosts each bring in one murder story to tell the other. And they’ve found a massive audience, with more than 10 million downloads a month. Turns out true crime isn’t a niche interest after all. “It’s kind of like this secret society of people figuring out they’re not the only ones,” Hardstark says. Classified as a comedy podcast, “Murder” is tasked with doing the virtually impossible every week: Make something entertaining out of something ghastly, without seeming either too solemn, or too insensitive. “We’re not relishing
[murder]; we don’t love that it happened,” says Kilgariff. “Quite the opposite. It’s the digging-thenails-into-the-arm thing. ‘Can you believe this happened? I know you understand, and you’re not going to think I’m a ghoul for talking about it.’ ” “Murder’s” download numbers make it one of the most successful podcasts in history, but it has also become a movement, a separate organism that Hardstark and Kilgariff regard with nervous awe. There’s a private Facebook group with 130,000 members, and an ongoing live tour playing to increasingly larger venues, including a sold-out stop at the Warner Theatre on Friday. To think, after years spent asking other people for permission,
cobbling together as many projects as they could into a livable wage, the thing that finally broke for Kilgariff and Hardstark was the thing they made by themselves, for themselves. “It feels like it came in a time in my life where I thought the time for this had already passed, for some kind of fame,” says Kilgariff. As Kilgariff and Hardstark see it, “Murder” could theoretically go on forever, existing merely to bear witness to the ingeniously terrible things human beings do to each other. “There’s value that could come out of it, if you just repeat the story and remember,” Kilgariff says. “Two kids riding their bikes to an empty lot? It never ends well.” ALLISON STEWART (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

More superheroes! More Donald Glover!
Marvel announced Wednesday that it is teaming up with Donald Glover — the creative force behind FX’s “Atlanta” — for an animated TV comedy adaptation of “Deadpool” for FXX. The adult-oriented show will reflect the tone of last year’s “Deadpool” film. Glover and his brother, “Atlanta” staff writer Stephen Glover, will serve as showrunners, writers and executive producers. The yet-to-be-titled series will debut in 2018. (EXPRESS) “12 Years a Slave” director Steve McQueen to helm an authorized Tupac Shakur documentary
The latest spark in the debate over whitewashing Asians and Pacific Islanders from film and TV came with news reported Tuesday by Deadline: A Glasgowbased writer/director and a British production company are undertaking an ambitious project — dramatizing the littleknown story of the World War II Ni’ihau incident with a white actor, Zach McGowan, above, of “Shameless” fame, cast as Benehakaka “Ben” Kanahele, the real-life Hawaiian war hero who stopped a foreign takeover. News of McGowan’s casting in the film, titled “Ni’ihau,” was immediately met with backlash. It’s the same kind of outcry that came when Emma Stone played a part Native Hawaiian, part Chinese character in “Aloha.” Or when Scarlett Johansson starred in “Ghost in the Shell.” Or Matt Damon’s role in “The Great Wall.” Most of these films, even with big Hollywood actors, were hardly box office hits. Compare them to the smash success of Disney’s “Moana,” a film that made overtures to attempt to get the story “culturally right,” earning the trust of Pacific Islander scholars and casting a Hawaiian actress to voice the animated lead character. Authenticity sells. So when a true Hawaiian story is compelling enough for the big screen, why not give a lesserknown Hawaiian actor the chance to tell it? ELAHE IZADI (TWP)

trending “When Trump nominates Agent Burt Macklin as new FBI head, will Republicans correct him, or just force Chris Pratt to take the job?” @ERICKENNEDY20, speculating about whom President Trump will nominate to replace James Comey as FBI director. Burt Macklin (top left), the alter ego of Chris Pratt’s “Park’s and Recreation” character Andy Dwyer, was just one of many people — real and fictional — whom Twitter users suggested for the job. Others included musician and Trump supporter Ted Nugent (top right), Trump’s daughter Tiffany and “The Simpsons” police chief Clancy Wiggum. “I feel confident that FBI Director Ted Nugent will get to the bottom of everything,” @EugeneMirman tweeted.
“Comedy is hard. Acronyms Harder.” @JAKETAPPER, CNN journalist Jake
Tapper, tweeting some serious shade at former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee after Huckabee tweeted that CNN must now stand for “Cardiac Care Network” because “their ppl are having heart attacks” about Trump firing Comey. Huckabee’s joke wasn’t great to begin with, but it would have been better if it hadn’t spelled “CCN.”

“Bow Wow clearly needs to act his wage.” @NOTSOCYNICALC, tweeting after rapper Bow Wow was caught lying on social media when he said he was on the private jet pictured above. In reality, he was flying coach. Someone recognized him on their flight and posted a photo as evidence on social media. “Let Bow Wow be a lesson,” @BritniDWrites tweeted. “Stop comparing yourself to folks on social media. Most of them aren’t living how they claim.”
“Find someone who will treat you the way a protective bush treats Sean Spicer.” @JESSESINGAL, after White House press secretary Sean Spicer reportedly stood between two bushes while taking questions from reporters Tuesday night. Twitter users had a lot of jokes: “Looks like Sean Spicer is working for the BUSH administration again,” tweeted @HireMeImFunny. “New episode of ‘Between Two Ferns’ is the best yet,” @jondanziger tweeted.
“No. I have pretty good balance for my body size. But I have fallen over while attempting to quickly take off my pants.” @NEILTYSON, Neil deGrasse Tyson, in a tweet Wednesday that left many shaking their heads. The astrophysicist said he had meant to reply privately to someone who asked if he’d ever fallen down while taking off a T-shirt. “Got caught with your tweets down,” @wsrphoto tweeted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may decide that giving it your all is not something you want to do — and your reason is likely to be a compelling one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Avoid any slipshod approach. You must be thorough and careful as you make your way over difficult terrain. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Now is the time for you to say yes or no to someone who has been waiting for you to make up your mind. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may not fully understand why something has happened, but you’ll appreciate the possible long-term effects. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can make a dream come true, but not entirely on your own. A friend will join you in your efforts — and that’s a plus. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your attempts to keep the quality high may not be wholly successful — but not because of ineffective efforts on your part. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your success depends on the willingness of others to go along with you wholeheartedly, without objection. Some will do so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may feel quite distant from someone who fills a very important place in your life and in your heart. Why not reach out right now?

66 | 54 TODAY: Skies trend partly to mostly cloudy as low pressure approaches from the west. We should stay dry through the morning hours with some light showers possible during the afternoon. Highs make the mid60s with a light breeze from the east. Shower chances increase during the evening.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) As
you read this, something is happening not far from where you are that will have an impact on you in the days to come. Find it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may have to travel to distant lands soon, but it’s important that you first square away everything right here at home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’re

Famous guy wants to run for president
Zooey births manic pixie dream child Zooey Deschanel is now a mom of two after welcoming a baby boy. The actress’s publicist has confirmed a People magazine report that Deschanel and husband Jacob Pechenik have welcomed son Charlie Wolf Pechenik. The “New Girl” star’s representative didn’t say when the baby was born. Deschanel and Pechenik also have a daughter, Elsie Otter, who will turn 2 in July. (AP)
After conquering Hollywood, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson may have his sights set on the White House. The actor and former pro wrestler told GQ in a new cover story that a presidential run is “a real possibility.” The actor, currently the highest paid in the world per Forbes, added that if he were president, leadership would be a top priority. Johnson declined to endorse anyone in the presidential race last year, even though he says both campaigns approached him. Johnson explained to GQ that he didn’t want to sway anyone’s opinion or make people unhappy with his politics. (AP)

Patti LuPone appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” to disclose that she does not approve of Madonna’s role in 1996’s “Evita,” the same one LuPone played in the original 1979 Broadway production: “I thought it was a piece of s---. Madonna is a movie killer. She’s dead behind the eyes. She couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. She should not be on film or on stage.” (EXPRESS)
