Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, carrying signs with slogans such as “Obamacare makes me sick” as they protested the president’s health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.
The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the Washington Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.

hmmmm...that’s very intriguing- we also have a couple of freepers reporting the DC police were telling them at least a million.

The Washington DC FIRE Department is saying 60,000 to 70,000. So, if the same city’s POLICE Department [you’ve provided no link] is true, the police department thinks over 17 times the number of people were there.

Think about it.

“the cops seemed bound and determined to keep any photographers away from any high vantage points”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Probably a wise decision considering the possibility of a sniper.

There was some concern by some that media attention would focus on a few fringe cranks. Well, out of what had to be hundreds of thousands, I saw two, count ‘em, birther signs in hours of wandering around.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Count me as “cranky”. Seems like Mark Hemingway has been reading Ann Coulter. Geeze! He could have been a little more creative with the insults.

Hopefully, Judge Carter will make both Mark and Ann cranky.

From Instapundit.com:
Meanwhile, a reader emails: “I’ll tell you what I find impressive. I’m watching the Fox news video about 15 minutes after the end of the event. The crowd has thinned out enough that you can see the ground and there is not a speck of trash on the grass. Absolutely clean. To contrast, google ‘pictures of litter on the mall after the inauguration.’”

I’m yelling with you.

I live in a red state. When the primaries come I am voting against the incumbent. I don’t care if it is Donald Duck!

I expected that all the streets and the Mall would be perfect. And...Yes, I saw the pictures after the inauguration.

But it overall it was an undeniably sober and informed crowd, especially in comparison to your standard left-liberal protest march. These people have jobs, are infuential in their communities and you can be darn sure they plan on voting next November.

BUMP!

Winter I was going for the funny. I guess I didn’t do to well. See you wondered if anyone had pics of the boob czar and I responded with a quote from the article about cops keeping photographers away from high elevations. Get it? Big boobs, high elevations?

Spread around the word “NeoComm” for the NeoCommunists.

Sound-bytes help destroy the opposition.
