Back from the anti-war rally

I’ll post more in a little while — just got home. We were there until it ended. I would estimate there were at least 10,000 there, it might have been closer to 15-20,000. I just went to look at the NY1 and 1010 WINS web sites. The former’s top story is about a fake ticker-tape parade and other fake “Olympic” activities to promote NYC’s attempts to bring the games here. 1010 WINS’s web site has these as the top stories:

  • Cop Shot in Brooklyn
  • Survey: NY Congressman Support War
  • Report: Mentally Ill Locked Down in Nursing Homes
  • Firetrucks and Car Collide in Bronx – 12 Hurt
  • Claims Adjuster Found Guilty of Damaging Home
  • Campbells Recalls Mislabeled Soup
  • Police in CT Arrest 3 ‘Jackass’ Wannabes
  • Supreme Court Considers Taking NJ Senate Case
  • Report: Derailed Air Train was Near Top Speed
  • Bloomberg to Crack Down on Sidewalk Cafes
  • Jogger Rape Suspect Says He Raped Another
  • Mayor Heads to Colorado to Push Olympic Bid
  • Record Spending in NY Governor’s Race
  • Brooklyn Brothers Plead Guilty to $50M Fraud
  • U.N. Shooter Denied Bail Over Flight Risk
  • Parents Plead Innocent in Son’s Heroin Death
  • Families Want Steel Cross to Stay at Ground Zero
  • NYC, Nurses Union, Reach Deal
  • Parties Lobby Supreme Court on NJ Ballot Issue

If 10,000+ people oppose a war, it’s not news. Of course, London had at least 150,000 for theirs.
