I'm sick of the lies. The fake news. It's time you all knew that the Mole People who stoke the Centralia fires that keep the Earth's Queso center at proper molton temperatures, well...they've lost control. The fires burn too hot. Our valuable reserves are at stake.

People are pointing out that this is a weekday afternoon, but y’all summer tourist season in DC is in full swing; and in any other year there would be more people walking across an empty section of the National Mall than are visible in this photo.
