I knew they were going to be closing half of North Tce this morning for the arrival of Donald Rumsfeld but I wasn't expecting what it actually looked like. I don't know what I was expecting though.

I think the presence of about 40 police officers threw me at first, as I thought they were just part of the barricade. But as I got further down the street it hit me that he was about to arrive. And just as I was about to step into work, the cavalcade arrived.

No explosions, no gunshots (that I heard). Just some guy checking into a hotel. He's probably up in his room right now, sitting on the bed flipping through the TV channels, checking what's in the minibar, ordering room service (the boss is paying), seeing if his shaver plugs into the socket in the bathroom, browsing through the array of tiny shampoo bottles and stealing the sewing kit and stationery.
