First there was no way that 1.15 million people were there, as claimed by the organizers. They are lying and they know it, 200,000 tops. I was down on the mall for the "Promise Keepers" event, and there was well over 4 times the number of people for that event.

There were a lot of very nice looking gals down on the Mall today. It was definitely an estrogen soaked event, so to speak. I just wanted get some pictures of the more provocative signs.

So here goes, stuff you wont see in the news media.

viva la vulva... I don't always think long live the vulva esp. around cramp time.

[cyborg]

You're not the only one.

[mountaineer]

An AP photo caption said "tens of thousands," so maybe the number was even less than you figured.

[xrp]

Man, the place that you're hosting the pictures at absolutely sucks.

[Rome2000]

Looks more like a witches coven or freakshow than a political rally.

Basil Exposition: What's the other thing that scares you?

Austin Powers: Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.

I am going to have to find a faster server. I thought this one was fast.

They might want to get a server with some microchips instead of tubes.

We can edit out the picture links if you wish. Let us know via an abuse report

[Nathaniel Fischer]

Notice they call pro-lifers 'anti-abortion acivists' while the pro-choice crowd gets refered to by their chosen name. Isn't that a major violation of some journalism rule?

[hellinahandcart]

I have them loading in another window. Been fifteen minutes.

(sob!)I want cable...

[x1stcav]

Ditto. Almost 5 minutes on real fast access without a single complete photo.

[Baynative]

"There were a lot of very nice looking gals down on the Mall today"

you'd better quit smoking that stuff...

[hellinahandcart]

viva la vulva...

That's really a sign? Jeez Louise...

[Montfort]

I have cable, and it is still really really really slow to download. So the delay may not be at your end.

[cyborg]

Not a sign I'd want to have around Ole Crusty. She may think I'm family :)

[SouthernFreebird]

It's prolly a good thing these people won't be reproducing. Gospel outta my vagina indeed....nasty.

[MEG33]

I gave up..I'm spoiled!

[hellinahandcart]

Gospel outta my vagina

Oh God you're kidding. (still waiting for pics)

They're kind of obsessed with their naughty bits, aren't they?

[bert]

Just for the record, Fox News this morning covered the rallly and made a point of lingering on a very large pile of NRAL signs. It was obvious that every sign represented one absent person.

Well, it says "Done" and I've got 29 red x's.

I'll have to try again later, bless you for going!

[SouthernFreebird]

They are very foul and nasty, the true colors of this crowd is very clear with their signs. I need a shower.

[kenth]

That rule wouldn't be among those that say one should be objective too, would it?

[GreatOne]

Looks more like a witches coven or freakshow than a political rally.

I recall an old George Carlin stand-up bit where he was talking about how the women at the pro-life rallies were ones you wouldn't want to have sex with in the first place. While catching a little bit of the wackiness, I got the same vibe. Good thing no zoo keepers were around, as some of the crowd might have gotten mistaken for escaped beasts.

[hellinahandcart]

Someone tell that dumb broad, the Gospel's supposed to go in her ears. LOL

[Army Air Corps]

I have DSL and I have a prtial so far. Tip for the future: scale down the pics. You still get an "A" for effort.

[RonDog]

Here is ONE of those images:

There seem to be about THIRTY images altogether.

Here is number TWO:

It was obvious that every sign represented one absent person.

The pro-lifers should have made a pile of 20 million signs, representing all the babies who were not allowed to become women and stand up for their own rights.

Me, too. Decrease the resolution -- we'll still get the idea.

The webmaster is going to fix the bandwidth thing. Check back soon. They are worth it.

Thanks!

[arasina]

I'll be glad to reduce them (dimensions and file size) and put them on a web page so they'll show up here much faster for everyone. I've already started but can't finish saving and resizing until they load. :o)

[x1stcav]

I remember when I was trying to access off of 30 year old phone lines in a marina in San Diego with all the salt corrosion, etc. Maybe I could get 9-10,000, maybe. And I was just as pleased as could be with the then new for me email and I'net.

Now I've got a business cable and I can't put up with anything that isn't instantaneous.

Who says I've grown up?

Thought you may be interested in amother account you won't get from MSM. Just got back from the March. Lots of people marching but lots of people protesting as well. I understand there were a couple of arrests, but not in the area I was standing. This is pretty remarkable because there were two highly militant groups trying to provoke the protesters. The Radical Cheerleaders and the Female Skinheads, along with their cohorts, were flashing the protesters (and I don't mean their breasts), swearing at them, charging them, engaging in sex acts, etc. All with black hoods and bandanas on (ironically, they were marching under an anti-discrimination banner). The entire group of over 100 protesters on my corner never flinched and never reacted.

Also, as I'm sure this will not be on the MSM either, all the "celebrities" that were "marching" actually were not. We were stationed on a corner where the "beautiful" people were going to turn from the rest of the march, to proceed to the stage. Imagine our surprise when they not only didn't turn they DROVE by on 2 buses. That's right folks. After the photo ops, the celebs boarded a bus and rode the parade route. A small number did walk down at the turn, but mainly "honored guests" (guess they didn't fit on the bus).

One more thing. One woman came running up to us from the march and wanted one of our signs. She was in tears, and admitted she could no longer march with the rest after witnessing the protests. She stood with us on the corner for the rest of the march. That took a tremendous amount of courage, and gave us a valuable lesson.

I can email them to you. Send me your email address. I just want to get these out there.

[RonDog]

"anti-abortion" and "pro-choice"

What ever happened to "pro-life"?

[kcat]

OMG! I can feel the hate radiating out of my computer screen from the images that did load. "Future Abortion Providers" on a sign from medical students. That just gives me the creeps. Insinuating that Pres. Bush's mother should have aborted him...that's just wrong.

[MEG33]

I started out on my son's old computer he made me take that had a sliver of memory left and was on a phone line.I lurked and sent emails.I got hooked,new computer,cable hook up and may have to go into "treatment"!LOL

[RonDog]

Or "pro-abortion"?

[Ronaldus Magnus]

There were a lot of very nice looking gals down on the Mall today.

Well then why didn't you take some pictures of them? Seriously dude, you may need to get out more. Judging solely from your pictures, there were nothing but skanks in the pro-abortion ranks.

[spunkets]

Just the pro-death camp's propaganda.

[Tribune7]

Good job. There seems to be a lot of ex-hippie chicks nostalgic for the 70s.

[FoxPro]

Well then why didn't you take some pictures of them?

I wanted to take pictures of the more provocative signs. If you want pictures of cute girls, they are all over the net of course.
