Hi JAN - We were in DC in May. In Lafayette Park (across the street from the WH, for those of you who don't know), we saw what looked like a homeless shelter. A few folks had taken up residence in a tent/large cardboard box dwelling to protest. Susan Sarandon/C Sheehan had been there the day before to protest. It just looked sad. There was a fellow with a rubber foam mask on of President Bush, with a stupid sign on his chest that I can't recall. Hubby was taking photos, and the protester started walking toward the camera. When we turned and walked away, I said to hubby, "did you see that guy walking toward you?" He said, no, and it's a good thing I didn't!
