Remember anarchy? The thing a couple of kids in your high school got into because their parents didn’t like it? They drew the A with the circle around it on their textbooks and maybe around the school, and then they grew up to put on black bandanas and act angry when the World Bank meetings are in town (although, they’ll have to drop those bandanas from here on out).

Anarchy hasn’t been a very popular political philosophy since the 1930s, but based on this Overheard, maybe we’ll soon see Free Sacco and Vanzetti stickers on laptops? It at least gives new meaning to the Coffee Party.

Overheard of the Week

A few Sundays ago at SoHo Coffee in Dupont (P & 22nd Streets):

A guy and girl, both in their early 20s and concentrating on their respective MacBooks, are having a sort of distracted political conversation expressing dissatisfaction with the status quo in D.C.. The guy is wearing a Restoring Sanity t-shirt.

Guy: “But do you really want Obama to lose in 2012?”
Girl, still looking down at her laptop, flippantly responds: “I want Obama to lose in 2012 and be replaced by no one.”

As always, Overheard in D.C. depends on you to send in what you hear. Make sure you give the context: who was talking, where they were, when it was, etc.
