For Some, Times Stands Still

100,000+ people came out of their homes, RVs, tents, and enironmentally-friendly caves to decry President Bush. Roger Simon is there and thought he was back in 1968. An NYC cop also thought the protesters had some temporal problems. "It's like fuggin' 9/11 never happened."

"Hey, Hey, LBJ..."

UPDATE: Slant Point has an interesting factoid:

But I want everyone to think about one thing. I don't have press credentials yet. I pick them up today at 4:30. And I still managed to get to the front row along side the march. This is not because of any great journalistic saavy, but because no one was there watching. There are more people watching the Halloween and Thanksgiving Day parades. In fact, I had a harder time seeing the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island than this.
