2. maybe they want to ensure.....

3. wouldn't it be wild if John Hinkely Jr. was on unsupervised trip

with his parents and jumped out of the crowd to pump a couple of bullets in the casket for old time's sake?

4. A bunch of Pakistani physicians and their families

(myself included) will be at the Marriott Wardman near the National Zoo on Thursday-Sunday for the annual meeting of the Association of Pakistani Physicians of North America. This hotel is not TOO far from the National Cathedral. Think we'll be under surveillance?? I wonder how much trouble we'll have just getting into Washington on Thursday; we're driving from Pittsburgh.

5. yikes. I hope it all goes well for you.

I'd expect some freepy creepy comments from some of those 100K expected to "pay their respects".

It would be funny if all conventions showing up in town that day were part of the tally. You figure....if they deflate numbers of protest rallies they would definitely exaggerate the other side.

6. That is a little frightening.

I wish you and your associates all the best.
