Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Saturday, September 12, 2009 :::
There was a big Tea Party event in Washington, DC, today — some estimates put the crowd above a million, but I'm inclined to believe the hundreds of thousands estimates, which would still be pretty big.
Powerline noted CNN's attempt to mis-cover the event. Mark Hemingway rounded up some reports and pictures. Jay Nordlinger commented on the homemade signs.
Speaking of signs, Mary Katharine Ham noted how hard ThinkProgress had to stretch to identify eight "offensive" signs, so crazy people were not well represented; one of Instapundit's readers even marveled at the lack of trash afterward. On the other hand, some crazy people on the other side called in a bomb threat to the organizers yesterday.Labels: CNN, crazy people, tea parties
