DOJ says government developing plan to close D.C. golf course

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorStill thinking about that kettle. Anyway, golf. The Justice Department says Interior is developing a plan to close East Potomac Golf Links by November fifteenth.

2. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentOn October nineteenth, the same department's Stanley Woodward told a judge there was no plan to close the course. That was around nine days ago, I think.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOkay, but look at it this way. Nobody lied to the judge, they just hadn't gotten to the plan yet. Great turnaround.

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt is a plan under development, which means the plan doesn't exist yet either.

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentMeanwhile the Park Service cut down four hundred thirty trees, according to Slate, and the government called that tree management.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFour hundred thirty trees of management. Who's managing the managers?

7. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA judge.

8. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAna Reyes wrote that rarely, if ever, has the Justice Department urged a court not to believe the sitting president, and that the case started as a case about golf.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRating: Full Bonkers. The course has been open since nineteen twenty, and it got a closing date faster than I get my drive-through order.

10. 

    Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentNine days from no plan to a closing date, and the only thing in Washington that moved that fast was the chainsaws.
