DU Where Are You?
I just walked over to the Excel center and there's a big line of protesters across the street. All kinds of groups there and no DU. I sure wish I had brought my camera. I would be there now only I had to come back to my office. Well, it's still early, get thee there I say!

3. I was at work
and no way could I get there. I was flipping channels during the 6 o'clock newcasts and it doesn't look like any of our local media whores covered any protests. Maybe at 10.

5. Mr. Krupskaya was there...
...but he hasn't checked in yet, so I haven't gotten a report.

7. Nah,

That's the first time I've been called on that, actually. Do you speak?

8. I was there!
And I got ahold of the megaphone for a while, too.

Some of my new cheers:

"No more years!"

"Who let the Terrorists out...Bush, Bush, Bush!

Several hundred people, I'd estimate - 500 or so.

Good signage.

9. Mr. K was the one...
...harrassing one of the lone guys holding a Bush* sign. The repub (in khaki shorts and golf shirt) was whining about Mr. K suppressing his free speech, and Mr. K (6' 3", in a baseball cap and just come from his job as a union carpenter) was saying, "Do I scare you?" Which is pretty funny, because usually he doesn't get that demonstrative.
