highest to lowest. so if you have a $500 amount and a $2 amount that happened they are going to take the $500 first. >> not fair. >> not fair. >> so what can congress do? what is the new legislation? >> the legislation is being prepared. there are other things the fdic says it is possible for banks to be responsible and to do things in a way that doesn't seem to get the consumer as angry and as hot as our headline said. they say why not a small dollar loan program, something that would provide a lower cost loan to people. instead of having them rely on this overdraft policy. i will give you one about dote from tom tran who is a 36-year- old man in columbia, maryland. his father went to the hospital. he had $5,000 in overdraft fees alone. and until "usa today" went to bank of america, you know, they

day and age, it didn't take long for word to spread about the poll. facebook immediately removed the poll and the third party that supported it but 700 people had responded to the poll by the time it was taken down. here's the story as it is being reported on gawker's blog. facebook is working with the secret service to find the person who posted it and to i value wait the seriousness of the threat. but make no mistake about it, anytime the secret service launches a full-fledged investigation they are taking this very seriously. now, i want to point out that somebody has come out as the person who sponsored that third party application. and i want to be very clear here, this is not the person who came up with that poll. this is the person who created the third party application which sponsored that poll and they have come out on the blog, the daily coast. he goes by the name of dan and he says i'm the developer of the facebook poll application that hosted the should obama be

killed poll and he said i know you have a lot of assumptions about me but i have no affiliation with facebook. i'm an obama supporter and he apologized for what happened but said i had nothing to do with it. so clearly he's been getting hate e-mails about it and he is trying to clear himself from any wrongdoing here. but the bottom line, is don't make comments about killing the president. it is that simple. here's howard bernstein. i thought we were different than other places. you had a vote if you didn't like a politician. >> i'm just going to get the weather. those people have to be prosecuted. that's just stupid. weather wise some big changes in the sense that we are going in to fall. it will feel like, it is the end of september, about october and right on cue and we have a chill in the air. the next three days, 70ish today. yesterday we were 8 o. today around 70. sunshine, a few clouds are popping up in the afternoon. tonight and tomorrow, more

clouds and could be a sprinkle with an upper air disturbance. in the mid-60s on wednesday and upper 60s on thursday. the moms like me.com bus stop forecast, it is cooler, not too breezy yet. upper 40s to the upper 50s at the bus stop. some sort of january, sweatshirt or something for the little ones. partly sunny and breezy and cooler. west winds could gust close to 30. right now gusts in oakland and garrett county to 28 miles an hour. that's the windiest we have. partly cloudy and chilly tonight. lows mid-40s to mid-50s and tomorrow cooler with a chance of a shower. 48 at the air park. same with manassas. quantico 54. 52 newland. we have a chill going on and manassas to catlick in the upper 40s. winchester martinsburg a little breeze and temperatures in the mid-50s. same story at reagan national. 55. the water is helping them. southwest wind at three.

dew point in the low 40s. the air has dried out. this is thanks to the storm system spinning in southern canada. a line of shower and maybe a rumbling of thunder from toronto and buffalo back to northwest pennsylvania to cleveland. for us this is bringing in a stiff northwest wind. so we will have that breeze today at times. these winds will gust close to 30 miles an hour. clouds up here today but a disturbance rotates an this big storm tomorrow and that's why i think we have a chance of a few sprinkles. we see this on microcast nine how the clouds are increasing this afternoon and tonight, ahead of this. in the mountains some showers are possible today and tonight. some sprinkles any way and on wednesday, you see them popping up here and there. nothing too organized but a passing sprinkle is not out of the question. look at the seven-day forecast. temperatures on the cool side to start. 66 tomorrow. tomorrow night that 49 for reagan national. a lot of low 40s and maybe

upper 30s far north and west by thursday morning. late shower on friday. showers more likely on saturday and sunday for the skins home game. let's beat tampa. 71 with sunshine. >> we're going to beat tampa. that's the attitude, howie b. >> you have a better attitude than me. how about some winning traffic? i can't deliver right now because on the outer loop at georgia avenue we have an accident taking away the left lane for drivers. they are backed up to 95. i'm estimating the drive time at 20 minutes. plus 15 in the car if you are making your way from father hurley to 370. just volume. no incidents or accidents here. on the virginia side of things. 66 eastbound, really stacking up. jammed from 29 gainesville to 29 centreville and that is taking you 20 minutes and using the brakes from the fairfax county parkway over to 123. what's up on 395 northbound, those taillights are stacking

up a bit. mainly between edsall and seminary an accident alert on an inner loop in virginia. drivers are losing the two left lanes and they are backed up at the 210 area. i have a 9 news now click to share with you. no, i don't. i will share that with you later. i will send it over to andrea. >> thank you. a man police say was attacked yesterday. they say the 31-year-old tried to flee from police when his car became stuck. officials say the suspect got out of the car and attack the officer who then fired his weapon several times. that officer is on routine paid administrative leave. police have increased patrols after a home invasion in bowie, maryland. investigators say three masked men entered the home of tyrone richardson, separated him from his wife and four children and killed him on sunday morning.
