Eastern Market apparently burned down over the weekend. I had many a good crab cake there, but I agree that the government should not be involved in rebuilding it.

Good for Congressman Campbell.

I also think we need to look into this suspicious event. Were there government documents buried underneath? Were the Jews warned away? Where was Dick Cheney? Was it made of steel?

Rand, it didn't burn down, but major portions of the south end of the building were damaged. It'll be repaired. We'll be able to get the world's best crab cakes there again, but might have to wait until this fall to enjoy them.
