Picture of the Day (UPDATED)

(UPDATE #1): The local mullet wrap reported there were 3,000 protestors at locations across San Diego……………………
………………………………………..
………………………………………………

There were at least that many at the Midway post office alone, and thousands more at the Oceanside and Escondido rallies, cities which, last we checked, were in San Diego county.

When the print media finally shutters its doors and goes the way of the dodo, we have a suggestion for its headstone: Newsies: too lazy to give a damn.

And more evidence how this isn't a G.O.P. thing:

Something hugely significant just happened here at the Sacramento Tea Party. Organizer Mark Meckler singled out GOP opportunists who wouldn’t give him the time of day weeks ago — and then wanted to hitch their wagons to the Tea Party bandwagon at the last minute.

Meckler said he heard that California GOP chair Ron Nehring was in the audience. Meckler invited him to say hi to the crowd — and then ripped him for waffling on the massive tax hike ballot measures (particularly Prop1A - $16 billion tax hikes).

Massive boos from the crowd of thousands here against the Calif. GOP establishment.

Something else we noticed at the protest - much more... a lot more young people at the event yesterday than on Saturday.

And yes, there were trolls. You could spot them a mile away.

This particular critter was asking intentionally misleading questions in an attempt to get stumbling and fumbling responses. To a large extent, he was succeeding. We tried to get a word with him but he did not take the bait.

Thought it was very cool of the Postal Service to help out with some signage at the San Diego Tea Party event held at the main post office branch yesterday.

We may or may not have some words and pictures from this event later on because, frankly, we're exhausted and we've got some scheduled posts in the can directly or indirectly related to this whole thing.

Bumper sticker: A lot of fun. Between 4-5,000 people lined both sides of Midway Blvd. Big tent. There were the Truthers, Libertarians, Minutemen, Anarcho-capitalists (at least, that's what they were calling themselves), standard run-of-the-mill stay-at-work Republicans, Mods, Rockers, bullhorn guy and even about 10 or 12 young gay rights kids.

And it was great being able to hang out with 'Dawg and one of his pups to take in this whole scene.

But the best part? No speeches. We kid, sort of.
