"President Bush and his motorcade passed the growing camp of war protesters"


Funny how they call it "growing" yet manage to omit any numbers.

Just like the stats that black women are the fastest growing segment of AIDS victims... Which means that when you go from 14 protesters to 17 protesters, you use the term growing.

The last line of the article had the numbers:

Sheehan, 48, of Vacaville, Calif., set up camp last weekend a few miles from Bush's ranch, and the group with her has now grown to more than 100.

If they are growing, they should need some fertilizer.

Last line: there are about 100 folks there. Not all that many, when you consider that there are legions of whackjobs in Austin who could drive down there for the weekend.

In fairness they did say "more than 100"-- however to me that means "maybe 10 or 12."
