Oh my.
Another primitive protest. Does one know if it really happened?

Was there supposed to be a march on Washington today?
Please forgive me if I've been hallucinating...but I could swear there was talk, a couple of weeks ago, of a march of pro Single Payers on Washington...scheduled for today.
I knew I couldn't go..and instead I've been signing up on e every petition I can find, and intend to keep at the phoning, faxing, emailing for AT LEAST a DECENT public option, if not single payer...but...well...was the parade called off? Is it scheduled for another time? Or do I need to consult a doctor about my out-of-control fantasy life?

1. little mini-marches aren't going to do the trick...
MASSIVE DEMONSTRATIONS will be REQUIRED before we ever get ANY kind of MEANINGFUL healthcare reform.
mark my words.

2. General strike. General strike. General strike.
That's how our dads and granddads (and moms and grandmoms) did it, folks.

3. Maybe we can outsource our protests to the Iranians.
Notice, please, none of the protesting primitives--and the above's the whole bonfire--answered the demitasse primitive's question.
Was there a march on Washington today?

Sorry. General Strike is out of the office right now. I'll put you through to his second, Major Get BacktoWork.

Apparently the DU Activist Corps didn't do a very good job promoting this so-called march.

I bet they have more support in their "stay home from work" protest on August 3rd.

Not only that, but the side that demonstrates will have their own weapons.

So this one DUmmy overslept and screwed up the biggest action in the history of the DUmp. This was to be the day of the DUAC DUAC QUAC QUAC Million Moron March. But nooo! DUmmy Demoiselle had to get her goose on last night, got all messed up, and didn't wake up until 11:45 this morning. So we only had 999,999 morons. Rather than stage a march that would have no cachet whatsoever (no one wants to hear about a nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine moron march), Skammer and Lord Marblehead just sent everyone home.
