It wouldn’t be a big protest day without a ridiculous story or two, now would it? Cindy Sheehan, in town for today’s ANSWER protest, apparently ran into some trouble with the National Park Service regarding one of her “tent cities” earlier this week. The AP reports that Sheehan was “forced to take down tents set up Monday on the lawn of the Washington Monument.” In response to this ridiculous display of power, she will set the tents back up tonight. (Put that in your pipe and smoke it, NPS!) Of course, it turns out Sheehan (who wasn’t even staying in a tent) never asked for a permit for the space, and there’s this pesky little rule about people not being allowed to camp overnight on the Mall. You know, because if that was allowed, a certain DCist weekend editor could have been found sleeping on home plate of the good softball field with the backstop and no beehives many a night over the last couple of summers. UPDATE: Sheehan might have some trouble putting those tents back up tonight — according to WJLA, she was arrested at the tail end of today’s protest.
