• DISTURBANCE IN OUR LOCALE: A Wonkette tipster writes: “Something’s going on in Dupont.. there is a row of ambulances and firetrucks lining New Hampshire from the Jury’s up to Corcoran St… also seems to be Special Ops and other fire dept- related cars…. Any idea what’s up?” Yeah no clue whatsoever, since we haven’t left our house in 10 months. Maybe Miss Buffalo Trollop Chip is showing off her cans for the local enforcement officers?

HMM it appears as though greaseball failure Barack Obama is being extra sneaky today in Washington. Several operatives have seen Hussein Obama Jr. inconspicuously wandering about such barren wastelands as “Dupont Circle.” He must be buying drugs from the homosexuals! Or just picking a boring vice president, as per usual. You decide, after the jump. MORE »

• EMERGENCY OBAMA WONK’D: Wonkette bodybuilding operative “Will” sends us an important notice of Barack Obama’s whereabouts this morning: “At washington sports club on connecticut north of dupont. He and reggie love were lifting free weights and listening to ipods. Barack’s musical selection? Eminem - Lose Yourself.” What a loser!

DOES THIS MEAN THAT IT HAS TO STOP?: “WASHINGTON - A Metro station manager and a Metro custodian were arrested on prostitution charges after an undercover transit police investigation found they arranged sexual trysts for money from inside the Dupont Circle Metro station.” Oh boy! Apparently the station manager was the contact on a flier advertising “sex trips” to Brazil. Are those still on, or do we get refunds? [Examiner]

Dupont Circle got a grim preview of the new America — constant war against everything all the time — when the beloved pet of a friendly street preacher was murdered, execution style, in front of horrified residents.

Exactly three hours before the president used the solemn remembrance of 9/11 victims to sell the latest White House war propaganda, a federal police officer shot “Precious.”

Joe, the Texan street preacher, was in shock. You’ll be in shock, too … after the jump.

Surprisingly, even the right has problems with re-naming 16th Street “Ronald Reagan Boulevard,” over at The Corner Mark Krikorian called it “statism at its worst” and John Podhoretz opined that it “would embarrass Reagan himself,” all arguments that should please the 100 percent or so of Washingtonians who are Democrats. More than one cabbie of ours has insisted that our actual destination was National Airport; forced to drive on Reagan Boulevard, we imagine they’d be finding some creative alternative routes. MORE »
