					<description><![CDATA[Mark:   My recollection of the million man march was that that was exactly when the Washington DC fire and police departments suddenly made a new policy: &quot;We don&#039;t officially count or estimate crowd size.&quot; 

Does any one else remember that? ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Maybe the teabaggers can try again, using a photo from the Million Man march of a few years back.
There was some disagreement about crowd size for that one. I recall arguments about numbers based on aerial photos and other evidence. ]]></description>

1) I don&#039;t think I made fun of old white people.  That was a description of the crowd.  And I didn&#039;t tell them to drop dead.  I said they were messy.  Not the same thing.  Not even remotely the same thing.

2) I didn&#039;t say the signs weren&#039;t pretty I said they were bad.  The Hippie/Anarchist IMF signs used words to mean the same thing that everyone else thinks they mean, even if you didn&#039;t agree with them.  These signs used words in ways that indicate the people using them don&#039;t know what they mean.  For example, fascists and communists are not the same thing.  Taxation without representation does not mean that you don&#039;t like your represenatives, it means you don&#039;t have any.  Unless you live in DC you aren&#039;t subject to it.  I don&#039;t really feel the need to take you seriously if you can&#039;t explain what you are concerned about other than some guy on TV told you to be mad.

3) Yes, they were messy.  Did I say they were the most destructive?  No.  The Promise Keepers in that misrepresented photo generated what seemed like less mess and there were a lot more of them.  I just happened to be on the Mall that day taking visiting family to the Air and Space Museum.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear katydid13guys,

Get a grip. Would you dare make fun of a bunch of old black people, or old asian people...No, you wouldn&#039;t because it&#039;s not &quot;cool&quot; or socialy acceptable to make fun of anyone except for white people, and you&#039;re a yellow-bellied, ill-informed cry baby. As far as the quality of the signs - it&#039;s not freakin&#039; art class, lose!

Nice way to be a HUGE racist and age-ist at the same time. Don&#039;t worry, babe. You&#039;ll be a old and wrinkled white lady one day too and some snot nosed schmuck like yourself will tell you to drop dead.

I&#039;ve lived in D.C. for over 10 years and you know who did the most damage year in and year out??? The freakin&#039; hippie/anarchist IMF protesters that shattered windows, hocked spit on police, littered every where, and put on their &quot;Hi, I&#039;m a pissed off white kid with my BMW and a gold spoon in my mouth, going to Georgetown University - but on the weekend the cool thing to do is fight for forgiving 3rd world African dictatorship debt while I smoke weed&quot; protest. 

That sounds like more your speed. Might wanna lay off the pipe - you&#039;ve lost enough brain cells.]]></description>
