Billions and Billions
Those of you following the American Spring movement in Washington, Dee Cee, will want to know that the attendance fell just a tad short of of the projected 10 to 30 million.
You know, like by 9,999,975. But close. Hey, in cosmic terms, that’s like a smidgeon.
Mostly, they napped.
I am told there was a lot of whittling and some pretty dandy dagnabbit contests.
Y’all we really need to find something for old white men to do. Cussing at the guvmint isn’t taking up all their time.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
JJ, the projection was “10 to 30 Million.” You assumed they meant 10 million but they didn’t say that. They just said 10. I see at least 10 people in that photo, so the projection was achieved. Give them the credit they are due.
1Well, they have flag waving, threatening to overthrow–well, just about everybody. And of course assaulting the grass on The Mall in D.C. with their butts, as you stated. Then there is the fact that they pretend to know what is in the Constitution . . . . .
Its a hard life for bitter old men.
2What a refulgent collection of ammosexuals, all 25 of them. Guess the other 9,999,975 were too afraid to leave home without their assault rifles.
3Thanks, PKM – I learned a new word today – ammosexual. I guess that would mean someone that is so insecure about their winkie size that they carry a gun to try and make up for it.
I had heard that the attendance was very low, but I didn’t know it was that low. So, did Obama surrender? Or is he still giggling?
4I hope Fox News broadcast the … ah … event live. And did their usual by filling in with stock footage of old gatherings and maybe random patriotic looking people that have nothing to do with anything.
Those folks in the photo look like they just can’t take anymore of whatever they’re against.
5Odds are good there will be more of us in these comments mocking OAS than were actually at OAS…
6More Texas; a gunnopotamus was spotted in Dallas Chipotle recently. A prime example of Miss JJ’s winkie-do syndrome
7Sorry about that I guess we can’t do links any more
8They could play musical porta-potties in between laying down, sitting and standing.
9Shoulda just hung a sign, “Gone Fishin'” and then go….fishin’. At least they might end up with dinner. Perfect example of how out-of-touch the old white baggers are.
Gasp. Running short of air. Help! I need to go to JUANITA JEAN’S. i wrote this wonderful thing and the gateway done moved.
10Old conservative white men, i.e. Teabaggers, should confine their activity to napping. They aren’t much good for anything else.
11Darn (and I don’t mean repairing my costly silk socks)! When I saw the title “billions and billions,” I guessed that this was going to be about last night’s excellent installment of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s update of Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos.” Yeah, the OAS barely got a minyan. Guess it wasn’t standing room only on the shortbus.
12Someone on another site said it was ten milling people not ten million people.
13I was checking out the Faux News site while this was happening/not and there wasn’t a peep about them. More info on Right Wing Watch than anyplace else.
They had about as many attendees as a lemming class reunion. Who shows up to a lemming class reunion?
Just the slow ones.
14Learned a couple new ones gunnapotamus and ammosexual.I usually call them either gundamentalists or gunhumpers. I’d consider them all synonyms just descriptors for the wee and wrinkled winkie syndrome.
15At least those American Spring-ers have pulled out of the back end of the parking lot at the car title loan place. I sure do feel that my neighborhood is back to being my own.While they were there the loan office looked like it was doing a gold mine’s worth of business. Now they are back to normal – not a soul coming or going. This posse left just in time cuz the Rolling Thunder crowd is starting to show up like they do every Memorial Day weekend for their appearance at The Wall.
16Is that a man of the cloth wearing an NRA cap in your photo? Guessing he’s just an off-the-shelf teabagger and/or just a big confused about Halloween this year.
17Dave, that’s an old dude in a black short sleeve shirt, black pants, shoes, cap and a white T-shirt. I saw someone about his age and looks when the American Spring-ers were parked in my neighborhood but he wasn’t all in black. Happy to help.
