30. The big question I'm waiting for though

Thu May 15, 2014, 01:36 PM

May 2014

The big question I'm waiting for though is how this gets played in the media.

Which camera angles do we see? Close ups of 1-2 folks, with the background cleverly obscured, and captions saying "Thousands gathered today?"

Or will we actually get to see the wide angle shot of the whole 173 angry white dudes that managed to pry their overweight backsides out of the butt-shaped-depressions in their lazy-boys to get down to DC to rail against the black guy who had the gall to get elected president....twice!

I know what I'm expecting. Sadly.

5 RW-ers gather, and it's a "mass grassroots movement"
100,000 of us get together to protest the Iraq War, and it's ".....crickets......crickets....."
