Inside protest headquarters, up a flight of stairs from a discount tire shop on New York Avenue, a recent coordinating meeting veered toward chaos.
The 70 activists, who had plenty of ideas but no apparent leader, got bogged down in making a decision about whether the group had the power to make decisions. People needed to lean in to hear one another over the din made by a drummer warming up in another room. Someone confessed he'd made 150 copies of an important proposal but forgotten to bring them, and a baseball cap made its way around the circle -- the evening's main attempt at fundraising.

Not even the organizers are certain just how some of their protests will unfold.
From Union Station just after dawn, Critical Mass bicyclists plan to ride through downtown, but they'll disclose their route to the riders just minutes before they set off. From a Columbia Heights park, peace activists will march to McPherson Square and then tempt arrest by playing dead outside Lafayette Square. From Logan Circle, self-proclaimed anarchists will march somewhere, but they said it's hard to know exactly where because of "the unpredictable nature of inauguration security."

On the other end of the political spectrum, the Christian Defense Coalition is rallying on Pennsylvania Avenue to encourage what one organizer called the president's "pro-life position." Also, the D.C. chapter of the Free Republic group is meeting on the parade route to show its support for Bush and troops overseas.

Aren't these the people that sued to get the parade route plans?
"From a Columbia Heights park, peace activists will march to McPherson Square and then tempt arrest by playing dead outside Lafayette Square."
Douse them with H2o to see if they really are dead. Can the dead spell hard water with three letters? "ICE"
