Stephanie Mencimer, wife of Washington City Paper editor Erik Wemple, is one of the fresh faces joining Mother Jones’ new DC outlet. She’s written for a variety of DC publications over the years, but perhaps became most famous when a local blogger detailed her alleged slinging of doggy doo during a dispute with owners of a pet spa near her Logan Circle home (which resulted in her arrest). Go ahead, make your jokes now: She’s going to fit right in at MJ, right?

Interestingly, the anonymous blogger, “Circumlocutor,” who originally shed light on the poopy incident has since removed all of his original posts about the situation. The City Paper for some odd reason had investigated the blogger after the incident, and it’s believed by many media insiders that someone associated with the paper threatened to out him if he continued with his reporting. Scary! Lesson here: Don’t cross Wemple or Mencimer, if you know what’s good for you, kids.
