The however many million people visiting D.C. this week did not disappoint, filling a whole episode’s worth of overheards.

They came from far and wide, and their statements were sometimes funny or poignant, and other times made us think of what esteemed journalist Kent Brockman once said: “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, democracy simply doesn’t work.”

Overheard of the Week:

At Sticky Fingers bakery in Columbia Heights on Monday:

Employee to a customer who had just ordered a cake: “Quick question – do you want ‘Obamalicious’ hyphenated?”

After the jump, another Simpsons reference and tons more Inaugural goodness.

Overheards need you! overheardindc(at)gmail(dot)com
