The press follows up

The Times reports today on that mini Internet dustup about tanks supposedly intimidating demonstrators at Tuesday's Westwood protest. The cops agree that, as already pointed out here and elsewhere, the armored personnel carriers simply wandered by lost, got directions, then left.

"It's a whole lot of nothing," said Officer Kathy Simpson, a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman. "The 'tanks' were there for Veterans Day. They ride in the parade and wave.

And today's "Only in L.A." column by Steve Harvey in the Times leads with the parking space installed in front of Sean Bonner's art gallery driveway.
