| Stand up for Denmark! |
| 2006-02-24 |
Taken from the article, a note on a small gathering outside the Danish Embassy in D.C.Update, Feb. 22: Thank you all who've written. Please be outside the Embassy of Denmark, 3200 Whitehaven Street (off Massachusetts Avenue) between noon and 1 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 24. Quietness and calm are the necessities, plus cheerful conversation. Danish flags are good, or posters reading "Stand By Denmark" and any variation on this theme (such as "Buy Carlsberg/ Havarti/ Lego" Ecco shoes) The response has been astonishing and I know that the Danes are appreciative. But they are an embassy and thus do not of course endorse or comment on any demonstration. Let us hope, however, to set a precedent for other cities and countries. Please pass on this message to friends and colleagues. |

| #1 Not a bad crowd for the middle of a work day (I'd estimate about 100 were there). Christopher Hitchens was there and so was William Kristol. I heard that Cliff May from NRO was there, but I didn't see him. I met Molly Henneberg of FNC's Washington Bureau, but didn't speak on camera. Still, I may have been on. If you saw it, I was the guy in the White Sox hat. |
