The Capitol Police killed the hopes and dreams of thousands of D.C.-area children (and at least a few dozen Hill staffers) Wednesday night when it reaffirmed a city ban on sledding on the Capitol grounds.
Merrymaking insurgents struck a major victory in the War On Fun Thursday, sledding to their hearts’ content on the Capitol Hill West Lawn and forcing the police into a retreat.
