Comparisons are Odorous, But Operation American Spring was Pretty Small, Is All

I can't help but give a moment to the thing that was supposed to happen today, because it isn't just every day that you get to roll your eyes at claims that, like, 10 million people will show up to overthrow a bipartisan bunch of the semi fascist powers that be (I don't know how long that link will stay valid). For comparison's sake, the crowd that occupied Tienanmen Square in Beijing back in 1989 was about a million at its height in a much more populous country. About that same number attended Barack Obama's 2008 inauguration on a pretty cold day. So that the resulting crowd today actually only looked like an average night's attendance at OWS  is kind of anticlimactic at best for the organizers, isn't it?  And not in a way that can only be blamed on the weather, which was, regrettably, pissing down rain. Keep your powder dry, right?

I know there is a claim that a lot of the patriots that might have come weren't available because they were down at the Bundy Ranch, but surely President Obama's nefarious weather machine also played a role, no?

Just raising questions, people. Just raising questions.
