Please take note of post number 455.
Please note that October 11, 2009 is in what some of us have the temerity to call "the past".
Please note that Washington, DC and it's environs are not a radioactive wasteland.
Some of them are a moral wasteland, and may even be a teenage wasteland, but they were not nuked. A nuke did not "go off" in Washington, DC.
That is all.
