Ah, Lyndon LaRouche people. They sit on the street corner and ask if you like some good program (say, the New Deal), then as you realize they’re LaRouche people, they tell you he likes that program too, before mentioning he was in jail for tax evasion and wants to build a land bridge to Asia. With arguments like these, you wonder why they don’t have more support.

Overheard of the Week

Afternoon outside of the Farragut North Metro:

LaRouche supporter: “Hey! Give me a high five!”
Passerby: (No response, looking at him confused)
LaRouche supporter: “Well, hey I’m with this group called LaRouche…”
Passerby: “I’m not interested. Actually am pretty offended by the posters you put up of President Obama with a Hitler mustache. See, I’m Jewish, and…”
LaRouche supporter: “Oh no, that’s not a Hitler mustache! See, it’s a Charlie Chaplin mustache!”
(long pause)
“Haha, just kidding! Yeah that’s a Hitler mustache we put on Obama. It’s because he’s socializing health care!”

After the jump, interns (of course), travelers who should get out more, and the Metro.
