Her opening line at the "peace" demonstration was a real winner: "If we didn't know it now, we certainly know it now."
This rally is a great comedic diversion from the Hurricane Rita coverage. Tune in and indulge.
David Brooks was on C-SPAN a little while ago at the national book festival, and he made the argument that support for the war in Iraq has been falling precisely because there is no significant anti-war movement (which would drive people away).
I knew this thing was going to be a flop when I went into the office in DC this morning. Although I should have known better, I was worried about heavy traffic on 66 heading towards DC. Traffic was extremely light at 9 am and streets around the building(2 blocks from the Ellipse and 1 block from Constitution) were deserted except for clusters of cops at each intersection. There was literally no one on the streets. Any event with 100,000 people is going to clog the streets for blocks around.

Thanks. I don't even charge a cover fee, although there is a two drink minimum.

Boy, this is some really shitty music. (And I actually like some of the "hippy" stuff.) Who's the guy in the red shirt how can't sing and just played an unspeakably lame, unispired guitar solo?
Lyndon Johnson picked Ramsey Clark for Attorney General. Truman put his father, Tom Clark, on the Supreme Court. Truman later said that was his biggest mistake as President. Supposedly LBJ's purpose in selecting Ramsey Clark for AG at least in part was to pressure Tom Clark to retire.
"Something about Amtrack monkeying with the train schedule to keep the masses away from the rally and concert."
How very Rovian of Karl.
Crackpot Cindy on Link now. (Being interviewed before she goes onstage.)
Thanks for the information!
My best guess is 10,000...or however many you can put in a wide street a block long.
I saw a quote where Truman called Tom Clark the "dumbest S.O.B." he'd ever appointed.
Yup! It's Cindy Sheetbag, on again. I guess she's gonna speak from the stage soon. I can't wait. Too bad we lost all the other Freepers who thought it was over when CSPAN cut it off. They'd be lovin' this. Crappy entertainment, and even crappier speakers!
Julian Bond. Anti-government government!
I didn't watch the part where Jim Henson was mentioned, but today would have been his birthday.
Awww, now they've got cindy wrapped in an Indian blanket!
