I provoked a huge laugh from the crowd at the rally in Olympia today.
We pro-labor supporters were marching past a bedraggled little counter-protesting group of teabaggers.

I shouted at them: "Hey, Teabaggers! Get a job! WE DID!"

Everyone roared with laughter; except the teabaggers, of course!

A good day. A very good, very cold day. I got to hold up a banner for the local chapter of MoveOn.org.

3. I didn't bring my camera to the event. (Damn!) And I'm still scanning web pages
for picks of the Olympia rally.

But I got another big laugh from the pro-labor supporters as we stood in a face-off with the much smaller pro-Wanker group:

Our group included scores of firefighters in helmets and overcoats. I shouted to the teabaggers: "I hope your houses burn down!"

Everyone within earshot, including some firefighters, burst out laughing at that.

:yourock: <-- I've known that for a long time, but this is a good time to shout it.
