Remember we stumbled upon a Mercedes-Benz convertible peculiarly branded with vanity license plates reading "OCCUPY"? It threw us off a bit. The car's owner tells us he's a firm backer of the Occupy movement.

GWU Students Are Driving Some Ridiculously Expensive Cars
With their tuition, housing, meals and student fees topping out at close to $60,000, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised when we see GWU students in cars that, on balance, seem way too nice for any 18-to-22-year-old to be driving. Still, damn.

A Mercedes-Benz with a license plate voicing support for Occupy D.C.? We'd like to know more about the owner.
Overheard in D.C.: Metro Announcements
The Metro can be a boring place. Next stop, yadda yadda, doors on the right, zzz. There are sometimes crazy people on the train, or somebody singing, or something amusing happening, but generally it's a snooze fest. Thankfully some Metro train operators like to change things up a bit, wishing people a good day or just being funny, rather than the usual "Next stop Judisherary Square" script. And we like that. Better not give this guy one of those popcorn tins though, you might get arrested.
