Expectation

So, according to this article, a crowd of 2000 showed. And they got a nice big report out of it. Now, I've been to sciene fiction conventions with a bigger crowd than that, so can I expect that next time, ABC will give us a couple pages on filking in the ballroom and demands for a manned mission to Mars? Nah, I didn't think so.

(apparently more showed up later, so they got another article!) (I've always wondered, how do these people afford to travel to all these protests? Do they not have jobs and responsibilites?) (just wondering)

Believe it or not, there are "professional" protesters. They don't have to believe in what is being protested, but they are like extras in the movies. I would imagine that many of this group were paid to be there. Payment coming from Michael Moore, Move On.org or Code Pink.

Strange the Washington Post says "Tens of thousands of people packed downtown Washington".
I wonder who has a problem with math?

This is great-they just had more people go to Dragon-con (probably 5 times more) in Atlanta than this whole nationwide protest! Just imagine what they would say if there was liberal media bias.
