Here’s some details on the increased security for tomorrow’s inaugural. (via Bob) :

Thousands of police officers and military personnel are being brought to Washington from around the country for the four-day event. Sharpshooters will be deployed on roofs, while bomb-sniffing dogs will work the streets. Electronic sensors will be used to detect chemical or biological weapons.

…Parade performers will have security escorts to the bathroom, and they’ve been ordered not to look directly at President Bush or make any sudden movements while passing the reviewing stand.

What they don’t mention is that the performers are allowed to see the President by looking at his reflection in their shields. You don’t wanna know what happens to those who accidentally make eye contact with the Prez.

By the way, I used ellipses in the quote above because the following sentence is so ridiculous that it deserves special attention :

Anti-abortion protesters have been warned to leave large crosses at home.

So , please folks, if your political protest requires you to imitate Jesus, make sure your hands and feet are nailed to a small cross-….what!? You only want to bring the cross so you can drag it behind you and show it off? Are you at least gonna get beaten to a bloody pulp in front of a crowd of evil Jews? I think somebody needs to re-rent The Passion, before they decide to use the inauguration of our lord leader to play martyr.
