2. when the city turns into an armed fortress

Most restaurants and hotels downtown stayed open to benefit from tourist trade, though many smaller businesses on the blocked- off streets shut down for the day, said D.C. Chamber of Commerce spokesman Brian Boyer.

``It's never a good thing for the businesses when the city turns into an armed fortress,'' he said.

Protests Share Inaugural Spotlight Amid Top Security (Update2)

Jan. 20 (Bloomberg) -- A protester briefly interrupted President George W. Bush's second inaugural speech and, amid the tightest security in the history of the event, demonstrators condemned U.S. domestic and foreign policy.

Carrying flag-draped coffins on a march through downtown Washington, hundreds of protesters denounced the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and demanded more money for health care, schools and housing. Two police officers sustained cuts and bruises in a scuffle with demonstrators near the Capitol and, separately, there were at least 10 arrests, police said.

``Fifty-one percent is not a mandate,'' said health-care activist Vanessa Dixon, referring to Bush's vote total in a speech to more than 200 people gathered at a designated protest area on Pennsylvania Avenue. ``There's a real and present danger in the world. That danger is George W. Bush.''

A protester booed Bush during his inaugural speech at the Capitol and yelled, ``Where are the poor? Did you ship them out of town?'' He was shouted down by the crowd and escorted away by police. Officials closed one entrance to the parade route because people were throwing stones over the security tent. Police in riot gear were posted at a nearby entrance.

5. Best quote in the article:

Protesters argued that electronic voting machines tilted the count to Bush's favor. ``We're mostly against the bogus election. It was a stolen election,'' said Shannon Hicks, 42, who traveled from St. Louis.

It was buried, but it was there!
