Peace Protester Chains Himself To Washington State Grange Building Which echoes what I said about the bulk of peace protesters being really, really stupid. He intended to chain himself to a federal Department of Energy office building. Grange employees found Jody Mason about 11:45 a.m. Tuesday and asked what he was doing. He told employees he'd chained himself to the building in civil disobedience Monday night after listening to President Bush's televised ultimatum to Saddam Hussein. Mason padlocked one end of the chain around his neck and the other to a door, which opens to a bottom-floor office. He told onlookers he was protesting Bush's foreign and domestic policies. He had affixed a sign to the building reading, "Reduce Deficit." Grange employees explained that he was at the wrong building.
