Today, I went jogging down Massachusetts Avenue about a half-hour after the "anti-war" march. Outside the VP's residence, I told a bunch of particularly filthy looking protesters that "You can get a free shower in Jail". One shouted back at me "You've never been to jail". Further along on the jog, I asked some folks clustered around a "Bush is a terrorist" sign - "How many U.S. flags did you guys burn today?" They just glared at me. Finally I wrapped it up by telling some hippie-types to stop stealing flowers from the Luxembourg Embassy's garden. Not exactly a Freep, but decent exercise.
We knew about the march today, but gave it a miss. We're planning a rally on October 26 to counter the IAC-A.N.S.W.E.R. anti-war demonstration.
I've enjoyed reading the spin by the organizers of this week's fiasco. They ticked off the residents of D.C. and alienated people who would be sympathetic to their cause by the violence. I can't wait for them to come back next April :-)
