3. That's what CNN said

and they were reporting estimates form organizers.

Most likely, the Park Police will estimate it at around 25,000.

That's beyond Epic Fail.

4. Let's put it this way...

not even close to a million, but it's a decent crowd. I'm reminded of a sea of white blubber, or a giant, pulsating, bile producing organism seething with anger, bigotry, and negativity. No doubt their numbers will be greatly exaggerated by Faux and other 'news' channels.

5. Wonder how much it cost per captia to get these folks out?

I bet the GOP spent enough to pay for at least six months of health care under the public option.

7. That is an excellent question.

Hopefully that's what they meant when they said million. It's a million per person, not a million person march. Now it makes sense.

All those walkers take up a lot of room. I sure hope nobody gets trampled on the way to the early bird special down at the Golden Griddle!

9. Hundreds of dozens crowded the sidewalks today, complaining

about something. Dick Armey and Glen Beck must be so proud.
