Barb’s Burblings

So I was downtown today, at a sneak preview of the National Museum of American History (verdict: It looks good, but they have a bit of work before it opens on Friday!), and I decided to walk to Gallery Place, instead of taking the Metro from Metro Center. And as I walked by the Archives, I noticed this:

Members of the group Veterans for Peace had managed to climb the scaffolding and put up some of their own signs. As I got there, the police had climbed up after them and arrested the ones on the scaffolding, as people below chanted “Arrest Bush! Save the Constitution!” The cops also ripped the big sign horizontally, prompting the chants to become “They’re doing what Bush to the Constitution!”
It’s always fun when you head to downtown DC, I tell you.
