Not twelve hours after the Redskins got the smack-down in Texas, the U.S. Capitol was placed in an all-too-familiar lockdown.
Early this morning an unidentified man with obviously stellar driving skills crashed through a barricade (no, it wasn’t Rep. Patrick Kennedy as we initially assumed) before taking out a fountain in what we are hoping was just a botched doughnut delivery. He then ran into the Capitol and was apprehended without incident.
At least this incident was handled with more discretion than the now infamous instance where a report of shots fired in a Capitol office building provoked District officials to lock down every public school in the city. The “shots” were eventually found to be an air hammer.
