Beware Pandas With Guns

The three stars and two bars on the D.C. flag are nice, but as on-site editor Tracee Hamilton notes, perhaps this commemorative stamp ornament might be a more apt image to represent the home city's home rule. Go ahead; try to think of two images that better personify 21st century Washington than a panda and a gun. Even the Supreme Court approves!

Ok fine, maybe a Jack Abramoff bobblehead perched in a mini-condo flooded with highly leaded water and mini burgers would also work, but they're not selling those in the press center. And gun-toting pandas come in ten-packs, so you can bring them home for all your friends.
