Good morning, Washington. After Sunday’s stunningly gorgeous, breezy, sunny and warm conditions, waking up to cool, clammy and gray this morning has us in a fightin’ mood. Is it going to rain again today? Gah. Sure looks that way. The rest of the week, however, is shaping up to be perfectly pleasant, so we’re doing our best not to despair. We do apologize in advance if you run into us on the street before the sunshine reappears. Reacting to inquiries of the “why so grumpy?” variety by stomping down your foot isn’t appropriate, we realize. Sorry about that.

Police Inspector Alleges Overtime Fraud in the Dept.: D.C. police officers routinely claimed inappropriate overtime hours while assisting in federal prosecutions this year, according to allegations filed by an MPD inspector, the Examiner reports today. Inspector Hilton Button, director of the police department’s Court Liaison Division, wrote a letter to the D.C. inspector general containing accusations that 17 officers, detectives or sergeants claimed the phony hours, and that top brass in the department have chosen to ignore it.

The injured officer was taken to Washington Hospital Center.
