Has anyone seen this "interactive" map?

They've done their homework. Even symbolism in the loading graphic is alarming.
Did you read the "About" link? (Here 'tis...)
On Thursday January 20th, 2005, thousands of people are expected to convene on Washington, DC for the inauguration of George W. Bush. The Inaugural Map was created as an on-line portal to help facilitate and coordinate plans of these visitors coming to Washington, DC from all around a very divided America. In order to direct these visitors to the most appropriate places around DC, the Inaugural Map contains links to both the "Red" & "Blue" websites to further coordinate their plans. The Inaugural Map was constructed using information freely available on the internet and created using Macromedia's web authoring program "Flash." The Map itself is a .3 meter orthoimage of Washington, DC obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey and available for download on the Inaugural Map website. The information contained in this interactive geographical information system is from the Washington Area Metro Transit Authority, MapQuest, and the Joint Task Force Armed Forces Inaugural Committee. As more information concerning inauguration becomes available, the Inaugural Map will be updated accordingly. The Inaugural Map was made by a Washington, DC resident who is a member of the DC Statehood Green Party and has close friends who are participating in the Inaugural Parade and Counter-Inaugural festivities. The aim of the Inaugural Map is to not endorse one specific side of the political spectrum, rather to facilitate and coordinate visitor plans to Washington, DC. The source funds used to create the project were donated by the Inaugural Map's creator as public service. Please do not hesitate to contact info@inauguralmap.com with any further questions!
