...Monday night, a joint FBI/Homeland Security bulletin stated that law enforcement and intelligence officials had received information that people associated with a Somalia-based radical group, al-Shabaab, might try to travel to the U.S. in an effort to disrupt the Inauguration. The information had limited specificity and uncertain credibility, according to Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke. U.S. counter-terror officials have grown concerned in recent months about the threat posed by the militant al-Shabaab group and a cell of U.S.-based Somali sympathizers who have traveled to their homeland to "fight alongside Islamic insurgents," the alert reported...

Obama had a fundraiser here in 2004; banners are stretched across each of the six rooms, personally welcoming the President in case he returns. A wall hanging displays campaign stickers from recent years, with slapstick slogans like "Let's Kerry...
...Progressive," is how owner Andy Shallal describes his joint's vibe - Busboys and Poets is where anarchy may ensue. A sweep of its clientele reveals a young crowd, Googling and iPhoning away. A strongly community-oriented spot, all are welcome, even if you only order one coffee to share between three and pilfer the WiFi. Humming, breathless chatter between foxy patrons and staff adds to the intrigue of the place, where the famished can nosh on Mahi Mahi sandwiches or wheatberry salads and the thirsty can swig anything from aromatic coffee to the DC Tap Water cocktail, a popular favorite...
