Wingnut Alert!
News4 in Washington DC amuses with this bon mot:
Capitol Reopens After Short Incident
Suspicious Protester Wraps Himself In Duct Tape

WASHINGTON -- Parts of the U.S. Capitol were closed off Thursday afternoon because of a suspicious protester.

News4 has learned a person wearing long white robes was in the area of the first floor of the Capitol and was holding some type of protest.

Witnesses said the man was wrapping himself in duct tape and talking about why the United States should not engage in a conflict with Iraq.
...
The man was taken into custody and the building has since reopened.
Can't they get anything right? The approved protesting technique is that you first take off all your clothes (long white robes included). Then you put on the duct tape. Hopefully lots of it. Especially if you are rather hirsute.
