While its great they caught the guy, since he put in the 30 lives code (↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A) before he left the house they have to catch him like 29 more times.

Michael Gorbey got 22 years, Jack Abramoff only got 4 and he hurt a lot more people.

it's not a case of poor HTML. i've been writing code since 1997.

I wonder if he was looking for DCist HQ, upset that there's no Overheard in DC today.

I asked the other day.. can anyone explain why links sometimes don't work? Is there a trick, or is it just dumb luck.

He supposedly stopped to ask police for directions. Darwin award winner right there. Thankfully he's an idiot and got himself caught.

Here's a photo of the bomb squad advancing towards the vehicle. I work in the Adams LOC Building and right after this was taken, we were told to get away from the windows.
