First the riots, now the fires. Thanks a lot, Obama! Wonkette operative “Patrick W.” reports, “I guess there’s a fire inside union station RIGHT NOW, probably set by retreating tourist mobs. But don’t worry, it’s probably only garbage, that they disposed of in piles on the ground. Either that or the riots in SW have migrated very fast.”

We also got a scary email from “Maggie,” about this terror:

Dear Wonkette,

My friend said just got evacuated from Union Station and wanted to see if I could check the news and see if there was anything about it, but I haven’t seen anything. Do you know if Union Station why they were just evacuated? Hopefully nothing serious!

Thanks,
Maggie

Newell is on the way! And with Andrew Sullivan’s help, they will vomit this fire out!

UDPATE: Grease fire, at McDonald’s, of course. “We had a wonderful time,” some tourist tells the Washington Post, the end.

Hangovers are now cures for national disasters. Next hurricane season, I’ll be on call and drunk 24/7.

Is Newell now our field reporter anytime there is danger/destruction in DC? Will this involve him having to wear his “outside pants”?

Aren’t the homeless stationed there specifically to urinate on fires?

I have a frozen colon. So much so that my Angry Chocolate Starfish is numb and mildly miffed.

Maybe its just the Bush lackeys “scorched earth” method of fleeing DC.

In his first act as Vice President, Joe Biden decided that if he can no longer take the train home from work every night, NO ONE FUCKING CAN
