From the Editor in Chief, U.S., and Publisher

Hello all,

CW hopes you had a bountiful and relaxing CHRIStmas. (We just came up with that and we love it!) As usual, apologies are in order for the lack of posts these past few days, but my family, the B.'s, were lucky enough to have the big guy with us for CHRIStmas, and oftentimes our holiday itinerary doesn't allow much time for anything other than eating. But rest assured we have some fun holiday pics to post, and as you know, we had big news for you before we closed up shop last week...

Here at CW, we work our staff to death, and by work our staff to death we mean send hard-working youths with ideals and integrity to run company errands on these mean Northern Virginia streets in one of two ghettified automobiles that had recently become prone to impromptu breakdowns. But we reward them handsomely, and I'm not just talking about the CW pens and keychains handed out at the office party. Management and the powers that be have upheld their own ideals with their purchase of the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX you see above as our new staff vehicle! Yes, as readers have pointed out, there's some tough ol' broads at the helm here; but at the end of the day we realize that in order for the CW team to do its job and do it well, we need a vehicle that meets the following criteria: safe, reliable and awesome. Unfortunately, due to "budget cuts and corporate restructuring," they weren't willing to shell out the extra ten bucks a year to register the vanity plate Chris suggested : 4THEFANZ.
