Good heavens. What is all this about people being evacuated from the Capitol and the White house and them telling women in the Capitol to take off their heeled shoes and just run? Something about a small plane... Reuters isn't helping right now. Anyone?.


ETA: Never mind. Now they're saying the problem is over and nobody's been shot down, blown up or crashed. Meh.

What gets me is the horrible sinking certainty that if the pilot and his student had been Bangladeshi or Pakistani or something, they'd be all but nailed to the wall for grilling for the next six months, even if everything else were the same... *sigh*
