Hill Buzz

Good morning, Capitol Hill!  It sounds like we are getting bombarded by Tea Party marchers this weekend who are being told that Capitol Hill is one of the only safe places to go…but only as far east as 8th Street and only in the 20003 zip code.  Ugh, awesome.  Thanks to the Maine Tea Party for providing our visitors with the guide to our city and neighborhood, which they clearly know so well.  We have enough crazy political marchers here already — can you please keep yours?  Thanks!  xoxo
