There’s a lot of conspiracy theories out there involving D.C.: it’s a giant Masonic symbol, some Illuminati or Skull and Bones or the New World Order controls the government, and Georgetown, GW, and Maryland don’t play each other in basketball for some valid reason. But this is a new one. Because WMATA clearly has the resources for something this complex.

Overheard of the Week

Boarding the Metro at Woodley Park during the Conservative Political Action Conference:

Two young women and a very loud man, all carrying blue CPAC goodie bags, are talking about SmarTrip cards.

Young woman #1: “They’re totally government manipulated. They can watch you anywhere. The security cameras like turn while you walk and collect your data.”
Loud man: “I don’t even have EZ Pass.”
Young woman #2: “Yeah. It’s the government. It can, like…. It’s just creepy.”

After the jump, sexy stuff, double entendres, and college.

I’m going out of town for a few weeks, so esteemed weekend co-editor Kriston Capps will be taking over Overheard for a little bit. As always, send the good stuff you hear to overheardindc(at)gmail(dot)com
