Well if had any red, it might look like a giant tylenol. Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Seriously? Drive by. It is DC, after all.

So they really don’t have a clear suspect, do they? Just potential links.

So, what's the big deal, #OWS? I thought you guys wanted a revolution? You do understand what that means once you raise arms against your own government, right?

If you don't, then just keep on shooting at state buildings. You'll get what you're asking for, and you'll get it good and hard. It won't be the adventurous, romantic thing you're imagining, either.

The White House has two sets of windows. “Original” single-pane at the exterior and high level ballistic glass at the interior.

It's quite close to the street and too easy for some nuts to roll up and spray it with auto fire.
