Zeitgeist Checklist, Escalation/Surge EditionWhat Washington is talking about this week.

![8. Last week: 3 Weeks on list: 10 [DOWN ARROW]](http://img.slate.com/media/1/123125/2144105/2156623/2156624/2157619/070113_08.gif)
Rebutton That Shirt, Dennis Kucinich!
2008. Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., announces his presidential candidacy by calling Don Imus, a venue befitting his long-shot candidacy. Next week, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., plans to enter the race by telling the guy behind the counter at his local Arby's. But the big campaign news is all the media attention that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., gets after he's photographed shirtless. The Zeitgeist sincerely hopes that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson didn't read that last sentence.

Kerry Could Use Some Help, Too
Sports That Americans Like. Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn are elected to baseball's Hall of Fame, but suspected steroid user Mark McGwire is shunned for stonewalling a congressional inquiry by refusing to talk about the past. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice immediately hires McGwire as a consultant.

It Wasn't the Knicks?
Homeland Security. Urbanites scramble for indoor cover after a foul odor wafts through New York City. They calm down after extensive monitoring rules out a chemical or biological attack, and ultimately identifies the odor as New York City.
