Btw, how did that rally to Free Elian go today? Are Senate hearings about to convene momentarily or are all politicians backing away at warp speed? I see there were 500 people turned out in Miami. Almost as many as were burning tires that first day. Oh and look 200 in Jersey City. Woo. Woo. Call out the guard. (Right Guard is about the only crowd control needed for this few.) Oh and look at these crowds: Smaller groups gathered elsewhere. About two dozen protesters carried signs in downtown Jacksonville, and about half a dozen people came to the federal courthouse in Kansas City, Mo. Not exactly your average Million Man March. I wonder if you back out the press covering these events what the turn out really may have been? Good thing that ARI speech was back dated a couple of days ago. Because I think there must have been even a smaller audience come today. washingtonpost.com
