I'm nearly as far from DC as I am from Fukushima, and the fallout would roll north east with the prevailing winds.
Seriously though, what will be will be. Our government can play big brother to every person on earth, but could do nothing about the Boston bombing, even when warned.

They cashed my check the next day after it was mailed. It was faster than an EFT. They are the ninja of money taking.
"...since President Obama worries more about the threat of terrorists' improvised nuclear device going off in a major American city than anything Russia can throw at us, I was wondering if the government had deigned to share with us citizens any tips for, you know, surviving something their own intelligence points to as the likeliest unlikely Black Swan event...Very few people in Washington, D.C., who work for the government have any idea what they would do if a 10-kiloton nuclear device exploded at the intersection of 16th and K streets."
You know what to do, right? We've all seen the movies. You jump in the car and high tail it out of town. But of course, you and everyone else has the same idea, so you all die on the highway unless you are on a motorcycle with a full tank of gas and can weave in and out of traffic.
BUT, that's not what you should do says the writer of this column. If you live in a big city, you might want to take a look at it. I've always wondered in places where a lot of people use mass transit how they would survive an incident requiring them to flee...As it turns out, you don't flee.
Since I live in Montana, and the prevailing winds are out of the West, I would fall on my knees, bow my head, and pray for the lives lost. THEN, I would give thanks that THEY (the professional politicians) are all gone, and we can start fresh! Maybe this time we could get it right!
So the hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens who would also die are just collateral damage?
More abortions = fewer criminals = fewer democrats
That's about what I'd expect from the sort of profoundly sick individual who would "celebrate" the destruction of one of America's great cities and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his fellow citizens.
Did you cheer on 9/11 too? Most of those who died were probably liberals.
If the terrorists get a nuke together they'll hit downtown Manhattan before they hit DC. If they get two nukes together maybe they'll hit DC. So if they nuke DC they'll nuke both and I'll just die of radiation poisoning.

Holy smokes, my IQ just dropped 20 points

If a nuclear bomb exploded in downtown Washington, what should you do?
1. Hope the Senate and House are in full session.
2. Hope obama is sitting in the Oval Office.
3. Have a shot of Johnny Walker Black Label Deluxe in celebration...
