| And I'll bet they all took the day off from their "jobs". Right? WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Dozens of protesters were arrested Monday for blocking the doors and streets outside congressional buildings near the U.S. Capitol, according to Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol police. She said nearly 60 were arrested on various charges, including unlawful assembly. Video showed police handcuffing a female protester dressed in a black pullover emblazoned with "Blackwater" and the U.S. security contractor's paw print symbol. Oh, heavy symbolism. Maybe the feds can hire Blackwater to do congressional security? I'll bet that'd be fun... "Step back, a member of Blackwater is being arrested," one of the woman's fellow protesters shouted, while others chanted, "Arrest Bush." Maybe in Pretendland, honey. But in the real world, it's one of your freak friends being arrested. Earlier, police had warned the protesters dressed in Blackwater gear, as well as others in military fatigues, not to block the doorway or they would be arrested. They sat on the steps pretending to hold weapons in their hands. Oh, let's play pretend. They should've got their heads cracked by cops holding real sticks not playing pretend... More than 100 people were protesting both the war in Iraq and U.S. policy on global warming. Some were dressed as polar bears and danced on the sidewalk, while others shouted, "No war" and "No warming." Geez, dancing polar bears. Sorry I missed that. Two protesters paraded through the streets outside the Capitol building, one wearing a large George W. Bush mask and a black-and-white prison outfit, while the other wore a Condoleezza Rice mask with an "Arrest Bush" T-shirt. If there's no Big Giant Puppets, they're really not making the effort, and I find it hard to take them seriously. |

| #2 No war and no warming. Cause after all they are both Bush's fault. Sunspot interference too. And herpes. |
