![Week Around the Ists]()
Chicagoist hit up the Prop 8 Protest Rally, looked back at a previous Illinois-centric Presidential inauguration as they prepare to see Obama sworn in, and learned lots of locals are stocking up on guns so the socialist terrorists won't win. Londonist bared (almost) all to check out a record-breaking gathering of Londoners wearing little more than their best undies and a smile. Shanghaiist marveled at a Chinese baby born with sixteen toes. Gothamist read that the Iraq War ended and that a national health insurance act passed--in the New York Times parody that was printed and distributed to New Yorkers (it's also online). Austinist was happy to report that the Harry Ransom Center at UT Austin acquired yet another set of priceless literary artifacts -- this time being materials belonging to modernist poet Ezra Pound. Seattlest, always appreciative of an articulate public speaker, delighted in seeing local boy Dan Savage (debating Prop 8) and visiting eminence John Updike (critiquing modern art) make the front page. Bostonist learned about how scientists are making beer healthy and witnessed a scary subway crash. DCist daydreamed about outfitting former D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams with a superhero costume after he was spotted running after and stopping a thief on K Street. LAist witnessed many Prop 8 protests including the most controversial at a restaurant. As the protests continued and after the nation's largest earthquake drill, multiple wildfires sparked from Santa Barbara to the Los Angeles to Orange County.
