Thousands of people have already poured into Washington, D.C. for a Saturday rally organized by conservative radio and television commentator Glenn Beck.
SNIP
Although camping is illegal on the National Mall, hundreds of people are choosing to spend the night on the grassy lawn of the Mall on both sides of the Reflecting Pool. They are doing that to get a better view on Saturday. Police say, as long as people remain awake, they may stay.
(Check out the video report of the crowd and Beck's pre-rally visit to the site at the source link. In the video, the reporter says there are equally large numbers of people in the hundreds on either side of the Reflecting Pool, hence I put the campers at a thousand.)

LOL! Sounds like Monty Python!
Your tagline - ROTFLMAO!!!!
Thank you for these links, Starwise! Between C-span and here hopefully I won’t miss anything. I’d hoped to go but the last bus leaving nearby was full. I think it was an omen since I don’t think I’d have done very well walking to the mall from the metro-and back. Camping on the mall tonight sounds marvelous! Praying for all those there—too many crazies around! And whatever am I doing up at this hour?????
Yes they are! AND, they’re also covering Sharpton’s BIG RALLY over at the ah... High School!
True story. Al Sharpton walked up the steps to speak at one of our pro-victory rallies at the Washington Monument before someone stopped him and told him the commie ‘antiwar’ rally he was scheduled to speak at was further down the Mall. If I had seen that I would have put him on stage :-)
Hope folks take care. I have a feeling that “commander zero” has called out his brown shirts, you know, his civilian defense force, to make trouble for folks travelling to and from the rally. They know these law abiding folks will be unarmed.
I can’t be there for this one.
No doubt.
Welcome .. :) Yes, we pray for all those
there .. a hedge of protection and inspiration
.. and for us all.
Beck predicted half a million on this morning’s radio show. I predict more. I’m looking forward to your dispatches tomorrow.

I'm sure Beck will orchestrate a powerful show re-establishing our country's founding in faith (lapsed Catholic 'splaining things here), the need to return to our roots in these tough and dangerous times - all designed to return our nation to one of values and once again an example of good government by and for the people. IMHO. ;-)
Bummer! Guess you’ll be watching C-SPAN and the live stream with the rest of us.
Is this the “Official” Thread? :)
Albert Pujols is the 9 Time All Star First Baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals, if he continues his pace he’s been on his 1st 10 years he will probably be considered the best player in the history of the game.
Tony LaRussa is his Manager of the St. Louis Cardinals for the last 14 years, he’s the only manager other than Sparky Anderson (Cincinnati Reds & Detroit Tigers) to win World Series Championships in both leagues (Oakland A’s) - 1989 (St. Louis Cardinals - 2006. He’s also the is behind only Connie Mack & John McGraw in managing victories with over 2,500.
I’m sure someone will start a Live Thread in the morning. I’ll be watching on C-SPAN. We did a rally at the Lincoln Memorial in 2003 with our Iraqi friends. Didn’t draw quite the crowd that this rally will.
Thanks for the information.
A great big AMEN to that!
It’s going to be a wonderful tribute to our heroes. I am sure
it will be mis-reported by the MSM, but WE all know that
there will be thousands in one place who will be respectful
and patriotic and enthusiastic!...with flags waving proudly!
I’m setting my alarm, so as not to miss anything. (Starts at 7 am, here!)
