Park service changes course, plans to offer crowd estimate - USATODAY.com

Based on the schematic, the pics and the video from CSpan, it is pretty clear - there was roughly a couple hundred thousand there.

These things aren't clear to an untrained person. That's why there are crowd estimate experts from information science.

I have not much doubt that there were hundreds of thousands there.

That was the 2 million estimate that was attributed to ABC.

Not the hundreds of thousands that NBC said were there.

Couldn't help noticing how many posts you have about teabagging.. it's ok, that closet gets old and stinky after a while.
And I don't care what you call it--or them...they can march on DC, and have Tea Parties, and have monkeys come flying out of their butts---their whining and sign-carrying and foot-stomping and threats of holding their breath til they get their way have about as much chance of swaying me as a wooden-legged banjo-playing baboon does of making a living selling fried pies out of the back of a rusty pickup truck...

In other words...big fat hairy deal...so they had their hissy-fit--oops! I meant march...the sun still shone...my wife fixed a delicious meal...1000's of folks with other things to do with their time went on about their business...and when it was over, the Park Service came behind them and cleaned up their mess...life went on

I suppose they had the chance to figure it all out by 2 this afternoon, right?

oh those poor pitiful hill-billies. they don't even know that liberal yankees pay for their health-care, their retirement, and their "education".

They'd be cute and endearing, if they weren't so dangerous...
