Vincent Orange, fighting Kwame Brown for Gray’s seat, went with a smaller Cadillac SUV than his competitor. What, he couldn’t afford an orange paint job?

WTOP’s Hank Silverberg reports that the flight schedule in and out of Reagan National Airport is returning to normalcy this morning after a pipe burst yesterday, flooding Terminal C. US Airways, which operates in the affected terminal, resumed flights at 10 a.m. — but long lines and waits are to be expected due to the backlog created by the shutdown last night. Silverberg notes that it took a hundred people working through the night to clean up the mess caused by the flooding; all complicated by the fact that electricity to the terminal was shut off throughout the evening. Those flying in and out of DCA today — especially on US Airways — are encouraged to call (the US Airways hotline: 800-428-4322) and double-check on the status of potential delays.
