Dead. Alive. Zombified.

Who knows what to believe when it comes to the state of the Capitol Hill Fox?

An eponymous Twitter account seemed resigned to fading away into obscurity Tuesday, though the media-savvy author did leave an opening to return:     <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">Just found out the wife and I are expecting a litter of kits in mid-April too. First born reynard will inherit this account (1/2) — CapitolHillFox (@CapitolHillFox) <a href="https://twitter.com/CapitolHillFox/statuses/430816281739014146">February 4, 2014</a> </blockquote>     Whether any <a href="https://cdn.videos.rollcall.com/hohfalse" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Capitol Hill kits</a> will ever materialize (and therefore inherit the CHF’s social-media throne) remains to be seen.     <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">Thanks for the outpouring of thoughts and remember, the Hill IS the best neighborhood in <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23thistown&src=hash">#thistown</a>. Your Pal, -Red (2/2) — CapitolHillFox (@CapitolHillFox) <a href="https://twitter.com/CapitolHillFox/statuses/430817250874892288">February 4, 2014</a> </blockquote>     But it’s nice to know the CHF appreciates(ed?) being part of the surrounding community. </body>
