I saw this guy lugging a cross up near the Viet Nam War Memorial in DC. His name is John and he says he carries the cross in a different majory city each Good Friday and each September 11th. He says that he is raising money to carry the cross in Baghdad next Easter. I don't know if the photo conveys just how massive the cross is. It must weigh a couple of hundred pounds at the very least. Note the towel on the guys shoulder that serves as a pad. I got a close up of the end here to show how solid this thing really is. As an aside, here is a homeless guy getting into the 911 celebration spirit. And here is a woman who showed up all alone, on her own, to protest Bush in front of the White House on Sept 11. Her name is Mindi I promised I would put her picture up here so she could see it.

I did find out something interesting today that I forgot to mention: The Freeper rally on Sept 24 has been assigned a spot ten blocks away from the Sept 24 antiwar demonstration. Somewhere near a book signing event hosted by Laura Bush. Guess the cops and SS just didn't want to deal with them. I find this totally hilarious.
Any word on today's 9/11 Death March/concert held at the Pentagon?

Yeah, it broke up about noon. I was coming over Washington Monument when I saw hundreds of people in those white T-shirts coming up fromt the WW II memorial and heading towards the capital. Got a nice picture of the big group just as they were heading out. Heard you had to give your SS number and home address to get into the march. Sounded heavy. They had a big sound stage set up on the south side of the Lincoln memorial reflecting pool and some country band was playing. That's where I met the guy with the cross. He wanted to go in but the SS was going to make him leave his cross outside. He refused to do so. I kept seeing the march T-shirts all over town all day. Must of been a lot of them taking part. I met a group that was going to protest the March at 9:30 this morning but didn't go with them. They seemed like the anarchist nose ring types and I was kind of leary about being seen with the group. The reporter from the Post who usually goes with us evaporated on the spot. We have a good report with the SS and the park guards and don't want to become known as types who stand on street corners with loons screaming and giving the finger. Glad I didn't go, even to just take pictures. From what I saw the march was just a bunch of people from the midwest having a good time. Not very political at all. Not the sort of this that you actively protest.
