#1 the protest to call for an end to the Iraq war.

Maybe someone should tell them it's over. And we won.

Personally, I can't wait to see how many show up for the big War of 1812 protest scheduled for next month. Should be a doozy!

#3 "Hundreds" is journalese for about 200 (rounding up if necessary). And any individual will belong to literally dozens of groups> Anti-war protesters I've seen are following the Bush doctrine of preemption and whining about stopping the next war...

#6 The groups sponsoring the "rally" would've each sent a rep but they kept saying they had to "wash their hair" or "visit their mother." All perfectly natural reasons not to go.

I beleive them.

#10 The posters have been glued (!) to DC streetcorners/bus stops/newspaper boxes for months now. To the general populace's credit, many of them have been defaced or at least partially torn off.

If I had to hazard a guess, there were probably more pro-Paleo people at this march than anti-war.
