It must be fun to visit the city these days: you get to check out a revitalizing place, you can buy all the FBI t-shirts you want, and you get to see tons of history and famous places. Of course, visitors don’t always know what places are called, and while they’re good for the economy and all, sometimes you just have to wonder what they’re thinking. Where the hell did this come from?

Overheard of the Week

Three adult tourists walking towards the Capitol:

Tourist 1: “Hey, we should see if Nancy is home.”
Tourist 2, completely seriously: “Nancy Kerrigan?”
Tourist 1: “No, you idiot, Pelosi!”

After the jump, 4th of July shenanigans, turismo, and uncommon laws.
