- It’s finally starting to make sense why police and prosecutors were taking Collin McKenzie-Gude, that weird Bethesda kid who was arrested last year for having an arsenal stashed in his bedroom, so seriously: a friend of McKenzie-Gude’s told investigators the young man was plotting to assassinate Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign, the Post reports. Guess that explains why he had that map of Camp David.

- The horrible story we first linked to yesterday about a local homeless woman being held captive for three days while her kidnapper attempted to, yes, cut her unborn baby out of her stomach, saw a few updates today. But since this case is just so upsetting, we’ll stick to the less gruesome, vaguely heartwarming stuff: Post crime reporter Matt Zapotosky (now with mug shot!) offers some details on how you can make donations to the victim.
- The WashCycle shares a report of a cyclist who appears to have been badly injured in a collision with a taxicab in Georgetown on Monday evening. Not a lot of other details available on this one still.
- Hey, you know, this Living Stories feature from Google might actually be useful if it included more than one news source (out of a total of two) for a given story.
- Now more glad than ever that I declined to hop aboard an Amtrak train over Thanksgiving weekend. Staying in town for the holidays FTW.
- Dear Senate: thanks! Love, women everywhere.
