Something unusual about yesterday's event -- almost no protesters.
Usually during a major event like this, here in DC, the protesters are everywhere protesting everything you can imagine. Yesterday I only saw one significant protest -- some hardcore anti-gay/anti-abortion religious types. There were also a couple of other kooky individual protesters but other than that nothing. Obama seems to have defused the anger -- at least for now.

1. Did you see the anti-"Baby killers, Jesus mockers, homo-sexuals, etc." sign?
It was right where you cross Constit. Ave. to get on the Washington Monument grounds, right by the old canal building near the WWII monument.

3. I told my friend - "gee they've got everyone we know listed!"
