The Raccoons Are Coming! Run for Your Lives!

Because it wouldn't be FedBlog without the occasional News of the Weird, the Washington Post reports that the White House has been invaded by raccoons:

The National Park Service is in pursuit of one very large raccoon and several medium-sized raccoons, who have been spotted roaming the grounds around the Executive Mansion and the West Wing, a spokesman said.

"The idea of raccoons on the White House grounds give us great pause," spokesman Bill Burton said.
