- Just Back From The DC Tea Party

It's late and I''m going to write something more comprehensive tomorrow but I wanted to say something quickly about the march in DC today. It is utterly obscene and insulting that the NYTimes, Washington Post, CNN and various other liberal media outlets are so distorting the numbers at this event.

The tag line is that 'thousands are protesting', but there were more than 1,000 people waiting in line to use the bathrooms.

I want to be conservative so I'll say that this was over 1 million people. I was 50 yards from the capital building and the crowd stretched in every direction for as far as any of us could see. We were carrying a banner 15 feet high by 15 feet wide with 15 inch high block letters and it was TOTALLY overwhelmed in a sea of placards. I lost count of the total number of people who took photos of it, but it had to be over 1,000. It was one person snapping a picture every 10 or 15 seconds, for the better part of 2 hours. All were pumped up over the message.

Congressmen ignore this at your peril.

I was there with a really great bunch of guys. All of us at or approaching middle age, and all of is up really early. The talk was that this was the first protest in history where all the participants needed to get permission from their wives first. Instead of the million man march it was more like the million man waddle.

The guys took a bunch of pictures and I took some video which I'll put up eventually. My personal favorite among the signs was one (hand made of course) that showed Nancy Pelosi on top, and below it read "Time to put Nana in a home". Anyway... more tomorrow, but just this one last thought:

Somewhere in Chappaqua NY right now, there is a white haired man named Bill laughing his A$$ off at the pickle that Obama has gotten himself into.

Here is some fun video of the people at the protest treating CNN the way they deserve:
