Good morning, Washington. For our neighbors in Virginia, it’s Super Tuesday, so get out there and vote in your watered-down primary. For the rest of you, well, it’s just Tuesday.

All About Thompson: Loose Lips has a thorough primer on everything we know so far about Jeffrey Thompson, the accountant and big-time District politics donor whose home and office were raided last week by the FBI. So, who is this guy? For starters, he runs one of the largest minority-owned accounting firms in the U.S., and does lots of business with both the federal and District governments. But the real money’s in health care, where his Medicaid managed care organization has a $300 million annual contract with the city. He’s given a ton of money to the campaigns of Vincent Orange and “Howard Brooks, the mystery Gray campaign aide accused of giving former minor mayoral candidate Sulaimon Brown cash-filled envelopes, may have Thompson ties.” And it’s only been four days since the raid.

Yikes!: There was a brief scare in Foggy Bottom last night when the U.S. Secret Service alerted George Washington University it had sighted a man with a gun headed toward campus from the vicinity of the White House. GWU evacuated its library about 11 p.m. after reports that the gunman had made it inside, WAMU reports. The library was given the all-clear about half an hour later, and no gunman was found.

‘I Have No Idea How to Say That’: Irish-language instruction is enjoying something of a revival, the Post reports, particularly at Catholic University, which specializes in ancient languages. Catholic’s Irish program is funded by a 1896 donation from the Ancient Order of Hibernians, but in recent years study of the language has been as popular as ever, which The Irish Times newspaper chalked up to a “post-Riverdance cultural zeitgeist.” To native English speakers bold enough to study it, the language is “about as familiar as Klingon.” Also offered at Catholic University: Aramaic, Coptic, Syriac and Akkadian, “those are the languages that the texts are in,” an academic dean tells the Post. Not offered, though: Klingon.

Briefly Noted: Warm winter means cool summer? … Hard for authorities to follow immigrants with expired visas … Telegraph Road ramps closed today … Marcus Vick to spend 10 days in jail for ignoring court orders … Presidential impersonator is dead.

This Day in DCist: In 2011, Gray called for a Sulaimon Brown investigation, and U.S. Park Police drew guns on some dogs. In 2010, fun with jury duty, and D.C. started handing out free female condoms.
