Eastern Market apparently burned down over the weekend. I had many a good crab cake there, but I agree that the government should not be involved in rebuilding it.
Good for Congressman Campbell.
I also think we need to look into this suspicious event. Were there government documents buried underneath? Were the Jews warned away? Where was Dick Cheney? Was it made of steel?
