He may be an Adam West Batman, but dagnabbit: there have been worse versions to wear the cape and cowl. The bad guys didn’t get away, which is the important thing. Also: this really needs the Batman 1966 fight music. It REALLY needs it.

This is not irony: …well, maybe it is. “An ABC7 News car was broken into while the crew was attending a press conference held by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Police Chief Cathy Lanier to discuss a Task Force created to fight robberies.” Well, maybe it’s not: I’m really not sure. Apparently the robber did a smash and grab while the mayor and police chief were right there: is there a brazenness exemption for irony? Or a hold-in-utter-contempt exemption? Because both are on display, here.
Via Memeorandum.

PS: I suspect that every cop in DC is going to be looking for this particular so-and-so. Or will at least give a nice payout to whoever gives him up.
The National Journal, on a rash of people stealing stuff out of Congressional offices:
“The evidence points to someone with access to my office, and other offices in the Capitol complex, as the perpetrator,” freshman Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., surmised in a letter to the House’s Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.
Other offices hit—many of which handle information dealing with issues of national security, though nothing of a sensitive nature was reportedly taken—include those of Reps. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., and Jon Runyan, R-N.J.; the Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security; and the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Verrrrrrry interesting.
Those looking for some common link might note that Lewis serves on Appropriations; Gowdy sits on Oversight; and Runyan is a member of the Armed Services Committee.
Well, some other common link. I need hardly point out the most obvious one, yes? Continue reading #rsrh Interesting string of House break-ins, ‘burglaries.’
This is not new, but it is funny.

I wonder how much of the narration I’d be able to puzzle through if it was written down; I understand that the Dutch language is actually not all that far from English. Sort of.
