Go Home Already: Disappointments and Drunks

2007_0522_gha.jpg

>> Dan Steinberg has some classic footage on "Bog TV' of Preakness Race fans drunk off their gourds. One guy's insistence that "this is what Maryland is all about," and by "this" he means heavy drinking, is just fun for the whole family. [D.C. Sports Bog]

>> Fairfax County police locked down Willow Springs Elementary School in Centreville this morning after reports of a shooting in the nearby area. The school re-opened around noon without incident. [WaPo]

>> Republican Virginia state Senate candidate Mark Tate was indicted on 11 felony counts today, including nine counts of perjury and two counts of election fraud. [AP]

>> Former DCist music editor and current Washingtonian online editor Catherine Andrews has noticed a slew (OK, two) of giant stuffed animals perched in surprising places around town. She posted a photo of the one above, a giant pink flamingo she spotted in Adams Morgan, to our Flickr stream. Is there a giant plush toy conspiracy afoot? Or just a coincidental rash of disappointed children?
