Frankly, I can't see how it took Ridge so long to catch on. Suicide truck bombs in major cities - a pretty obvious strategy, you'd think. Though I'm pretty skeptical that we're going to see this in D.C.; the IMF and World Bank really aren't the sort of think Islamist terrorists seem likely to target. I'll admit that I was briefly glad I'm working from home, but then I realized that any relief was based upon the assumption that Tom Ridge's color-coding actually means jack shit. Suicide truck bombs? Very likely. But I really doubt that they'll arrive on Ernie.

The ironic thing about all of this is that, with the proximity of GW Law to the Bretton Woods twins, my childhood fantasy of school being blown up might finally happen.

Also, the red line train in front of us broke down, preventing Celeste and I from getting to The Village at Union Station on time. So instead we loitered around the exhibits in the National Building Museum for a while, then hiked over to E Street Cinema and caught Maria, Full of Grace which you all should go see immediately.
