Uh oh

I think the Post jinxed D.C. when it wrote about the dip in murders last weekend. Because there were apparently two on Wednesday and one yesterday.

Hopefully this isn't a portent of many murders to come during the long, hot summer, as foretold by some in the comments section of this blog. This phenomonon is also known as the 50 Cent Memorial Effect. D.C.'s still on pace for a sub-200 year, but it would be nice to hold off on triple digits for a while.
