"What the world needs is a little hope," I was told as I walked down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House Monday morning.
The bearded young gentleman telling me this was a marijuana protester. Dozens of protesters had gathered near 17th and Pennsylvania, just a block from the White House. Shutting down traffic, they were dancing and chanting, apparently intent on getting themselves arrested. A police officer I spoke with about them simply grinned: "They're very peaceful." He expected no arrests. Bummer, man. They so wanted some ink.
