It’s not a protest without an argument over how many people showed up. The level of inanity being shown by Bishop Harry “I’m from Beltsville and should butt out of D.C.’s affairs” Jackson isn’t quite in the same league as the crazy 2M numbers the Freedomworks people were throwing around but it’s still a bit disconnected from reality. WaPo’s D.C. Wire Blog has an entry stating that he claimed there were over 2,000 people there rather than the 150 that the Monday article cites. Unfortunately for the Bishop there’s a picture accompanying the article, shot from above, and that cluster of carpetbaggers would be lucky to be able to add up to 2,000 toes much less people.
Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
What’s hilarious is the guy in the comments on the Post’s blog entry insisting that the photo proves that Jackson’s estimate was correct and the reporter only said 150 because it confirmed his bias.
