This picture was taken from the top of a
gentle slope. Yup, that street is filled solidly with protesters
going way, way back! The article earlier said they stretched back
10 city blocks!
In the most joyful moment of the last few weeks, Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report (Spin-off from The Daily Show) did a roast of Bush that absolutely raked the guy over the coals!! Naturally, the major media were far too cowardly to carry any extensive commentary on it

This was a nice arrangement.
During the march, the focus was on ending the war. Afterwards, we
had tents and tables for all kinds of other causes. On Colbert's "roast" of Bush
(That Bush clearly
didn't like), it's funny about the major media not carrying it as they
had no problem carrying the "jokes"
about Bush and aides searching for the missing WMD under chairs and
tables in the White House.
One pictured Mr Bush looking under a piece of furniture in the Oval Office, at which the president remarked: "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere."
After another one, showing him scouring the corner of a room, Mr Bush said: "No, no weapons over there," he said.
And as a third picture, this time showing him leaning over, appeared on the screen the president was heard to say: "Maybe under here?"
The audience at Wednesday's 60th annual
dinner of the Radio and Television
Correspondents' Association obviously thought the quips hilarious -
there were laughs all round
Belly dancers! All kinds of shapes
and sizes and ages dressed with a fair degree of similarity and all of
whom were reasonably competent with their dancing.
Jane Hamsher of firedoglake does a hilarious round-up of stupid comments by Howard Kurtz, the conservative Washington Post media critic (Dan Froomkin is the liberal one) in response to his lament that one just can't seem to find good writing on the left side of the blogosphere.

The "Raging Grannies" sung some
marvelously snarky songs.
Recently, a right-winger mentioned in the comments area of a blog that he still hadn't forgiven Markos of DailyKos for his harsh comments about the four mercenaries who were torn apart near Falluja. Well, there might be a reason as to why mercenaries are not regarded in the best light.

And finally, some protesters chillin'
and relaxin'. A good day was had by all!
