Package ignites at D.C. postal facility
Source: WTOP.com

WASHINGTON - At least one package has ignited at a D.C. postal facility, D.C. Police tell WTOP.

Police say one or two packages ignited at a facility in the 3300 block of V Street in Northeast shortly after around 2:45 p.m. Friday.

The building has been evacuated and no injuries have been reported.

D.C. Police Officer Hugh Carew says they do not know if the package is similar to the two that ignited at Maryland state government buildings Thursday.

Are the teabaggers re-enacting Fort Sumter?

2. It was addressed to Napolitano and that fact is breaking all over the news
yet DU is asleep or is going about its business of Obama-bashing.

And no, I'm not into the "terra terra terra" nonsense but do see how something like this will ultimately distract the media away from the major FAIL behavior of the congressional repukes, being the latest shiny object.

3. From the note with the packages yesterday
The packages would appear to be a protest of the default message on electronic signs all around the DC area urging people to report suspicious activity.

The region now will be freaking out in 3, 2, 1...
