It’s quite warm out there, eh commentarians? We can only handle so much humidity. Instead, we parked ourselves in front of the A/C, blasted it up to maximum cool, and threw together your comment roundup. Feel free to send all thanks in the form of popsicles and inflatable swimming pool toys.

To start the madness: it seems as if Union Station and Silver Spring aren’t the only places where photographers are getting hassled about taking photos – I mean, some of them might have odd beards, but we’d hardly go so far as to call them terrorists. Of course, that sense of decorum didn’t stop one intrepid patrolman: this week’s Comment of the Week goes to OldPosterKnownAsCranky, even though Cranky forgot to tip them off about the large amounts of terrorists who for some reason congregate around Navy Yard over 81 days and nights in the summer:

Has security noticed the huge swarms of terrorists around the Tidal Basin in the April/May time period? Apparently thousands of terrorists casing the place by taking tons of photographs of public buildings, waterways, roadways, and each other.

After the jump, there will be junkpunching. Oh yes, there will be junkpunching.
