Is anyone else going to show up?!?!?!?! I truly can understand the reasons I've seen... What about the rest of you??? Should I bother lugging my signs downtown?

If I can get out of work at a decent time, I'll head down there but I'm usually stuck until 4:30 or 5:00 so, like I say, it's only an outside chance.

I put my chances at 50/50. I hope to see you there.

Choppers were flying overhead. Look for me tonight on the news. I'm the guy in the black jacket beyond the front of the buses holding a sign the reads, "DICTATORS LOVE COWARDS" and on the flip-side, "U.S.A. LIBERATE IRAQ."

Regrettably some like-minded people driving by on Columbus Drive took out their frustration with the protesters out on me. I endured comments like, "People died so that you could hold that sign @$$hole!"

Oh well, it was still fun. I even had a coulple of local women come up who thought I was one of them. When they discovered who I was, we still had a friendly discussion and they heard our perspective for the first time, and they were suprising receptive. We parted on good terms.
