Starting Monday morning, the fun's over when it comes to parking on Capitol Hill

Many staffers applauded the relaxation of parking restricitions during the past few weeks of "Snowmaggedon."

But, according to a notification sent on Friday afternoon, all street parking restrictions and reserved parking lots on Capitol Hill will revert back to their pre-blizzard rules starting Monday morning. The areas affected include House and Senate parking lots, surrounding streets, and the garage at the Thurgood Marshall Judiciary Office Building.

The notice warned that there may be more cars than there are spots, even in reserved parking lots, as the Capitol returns to work en masse for the first time in nearly a month.

The Senate Parking Office recommends that congressional staffers hop on Metro or carpool. Those who have reserved parking passes should try to get in before 10 a.m. After reserved parking lots fill up, authorized cars will be sent to lots 16, 18, or 19.

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) has been diagnosed with B-Cell Lymphoma in his stomach, and will undergo between six and eight rounds of chemotherapy to treat the tumor, according to a statement from his office.

Lautenberg collapsed earlier this week, and was said to have a bleeding ulcer. But after several days of testing, his condition, also known as Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, is clearly much more serious.

One of the doctors treating Lautenberg, Dr. James F. Holland, said in the statement he anticipated the senator would be returning to work between chemo treatments, which he said would be administered about every three weeks.

Numerous members of Congress have been treated for cancer while in office, most notably Lautenberg's fellow Democrat, Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), who battled Hodgkins Lymphoma in both 2005 and 2008. The lawmaker wrote a book about his experiences titled "Never Give In: Battling Cancer in the Senate"

Survival rates for non-Hodgkins Lymphoma vary widely, based on a number of risk factors. Lautenberg turned 86 years old last month.

The slogans and signs of the conservative Tea Party movement are the subject of a new coffee table book, which will be released Friday with a jazzy launch event at the Conservative Political Action Conference's annual meeting.

"Grandma's Not Shovel-Ready! Signs from 9/12 and the Tea Parties of 2009" is a compilation of the wittiest and most compelling tea party protest signs of the past year's events, especially the Sept. 12 march on Washington, known within the Tea Party movement as 9/12; all assembled and edited by the conservative organization Let Freedom Ring (LFR).

Co-founder Colin Hanna told ITK that he and some colleagues had been inspired by a small photography book of church signs from across the country with clever sayings on them.

"We were all amazed at the scope of the signage on 9/12, but many of the protesters only got to see the signs near them on the National Mall. We wanted to compile the best of all of them for everyone to see."

The subject matter on the pages runs the political gamut from healthcare to taxes to energy policy, but they're all staunchly conservative, and many are sharply critical of the Obama administration.

At the time of the protests some signs were widely criticized for their apparently racist or graphic content, but Hanna said that despite the attention paid to a few "fringey" signs, they comprised only a small percentage of the total banners, and they were not included in the book.

"I took a couple out that I thought were intemperate," he said, "but really, this was a family event, much more about patriots standing up for themselves than anti-anything."

Hanna's favorites? Besides the title quote, he likes one that reads "Born Free. Taxed to death," and another with an image of the Democratic party donkey, and the phrase "Marxism is the opiate of the asses" written above it.

The assembly of the book took several months, he said. "And we did our best to source every photo back to the original photographer," but in some cases that was impossible. "So if you see a photo that you took in our book, let us know, and we'll be happy to attribute it to you, and we welcome corrections." 

The 64-page hardcover book is available for $10.00 at Let Freedom Ring's website. Below are some images from the book.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) will have to find somewhere new to practice his speeches.

Following the air rage incident he experienced at the hands of another passenger on an Air Canada flight from Vancouver, Romney told CBS's "Inside Edition": "I tell you, that’s the last time I’m going to rehearse one of my speeches on an airplane!”

On his way home from the Winter Olympic Games Monday, a fellow traveler became enraged when Romney asked him to put his seat upright. The man turned around to punch him before being subdued by crew members. Romney opted not to press charges.

Luckily for Romney, he had adequate protection against the assailant, in the form of his wife, Ann. "There could have been some serious injury," he quipped, "but fortunately they got the guy off the plane before they let my wife go!”

An early favorite for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, Romney spoke at a D.C. bowling alley Thursday where he appeared with Sen. Scott Brown (R).

"Inside Edition" caught with Romney at a Washington, D.C. bowling alley on Thursday with Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.). No word on who won the bowling match, but it's likely they did better than the 37 Barack Obama rolled on the campaign trail. Romney's interview will air on Thursday.

Illinois native Jesse Sullivan has been living in a tent near the Capitol for a monthin the midst of two of the worst blizzards the area has seen in years.
 
Sullivan is helping to raise money for emergency shelter for those affected by Haiti’s Jan. 12 major earthquake, The Springfield State Journal-Register reported.
 
The 25-year-old was in D.C. for job interviews when the earthquake hit. He got a call from his cousin, a doctor who started a medical program called “Haitian Hearts.”
 
Sullivan has a master’s from Oxford University and studied abroad in El Salvador when, coincidentally, an earthquake hit there.
 
To make a long story short, he ended up getting a hearing at the Haitian embassy and was accepted as a volunteer assistant for relief efforts.
 
The embassy offered him a hotel room in place of pay, but Sullivan chose to set up shop in his tent to raise awareness about bringing shelter down to Haiti. The ambassador and his wife told Sullivan he was crazy, but to go for it.
 
“It was really cold,” he told the Journal-Register. “But regardless of however bad it gets, I just feel like the conditions on the ground in Haiti are so much worse.”
 
Despite over two feet of snow, Sullivan is still in his tent. It is unclear exactly where is tent is on Capitol Hill.

Vice President Joe Biden's security perimeter suffered a breach while he attended the Winter Olympics, according to a report.

A mentally unstable man obsessed with Biden (shown here with his wife Jill, left, and Valerie Jarrett) and  made it within 12 rows of the vice president on Friday, according to a report in Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper.

Canadian Mounties stopped and detained the 48-year-old man, who was reportedly unarmed, and detained him while he was trying to escape.

Canadian authorities are investigating the breach, which took place during the Vancouver Olympics' opening ceremonies.

A Secret Service spokesman told the Globe and Mail that they were expecting further details on the breach from the Canadian Mounties, and that the man was "not in close proximity" to Biden.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has a message for country music superstar Taylor Swift: you had better watch out!

The Republican congressman tweeted a challenge at the four-time Grammy winner because he has been reportedly been nominated for a "Grammys on the Hill" award:

I'm honored to be receiving a Hill Grammy! @taylorswift13 better watch out! http://bit.ly/9Y9r5r (let's hope Kanye isn't nearby...)

The Recording Academy award the "Grammys on the Hill" award to people who help boost the music industry. 

Issa has a long way to go to catch up to swift. He not only has to win four awards, but he trails Swift in Twitter followers by 2,632,620.

As for Kanye West, Issa can safely bet the rapper won't be jumping onstage hollering that Beyonce Knowles deserves his award more than he does.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is a loner in the nation's capital and he's proud of it.

During his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, a smiling DeMint said, "I did not come to Washington to make friends and so far I haven't been disappointed."

DeMint isn't just playing to the crowd. He has infuriated members on both sides of the aisle with his crusade against earmarks and other government spending.
