Down on the Mall this past weekend.

At last the blogger photo is working again.

The day started out at Dupont Circle. My son took a photo of the water in the fountain there.

Then we drifted down to the Ellipse. What are all the horse cops either smiling at or befuddled by?



They were checking out Satan pulling Cheney's strings and Cheney pulling Bush's. I didn't get a good picture.



The view from the Washington Monument was great. You could hear some of the speakers, too. This photo doesn't begin to capture the amount of people there. They were spilled all over Constitution heading down the American History museum also.


At the concert, Jello Biafra emceed.


Joan Baez was the third act in. She still has an amazing voice and provided a great moment.


Unfortunately, little children aren't terribly interested in sitting relatively still outside for more than a few hours. We had to leave after the Bellrays and Wayne Kramer. There was far too much speechifying between acts, and far too much of the speechifying was off topic (meaning that while I'm not dense and I understand that everything is connected eventually, I'm not terribly interested in hearing about the Bush administration's unsurprising decision to suspend labor laws in the Gulf Coast recovery -- stay on topic folks and maybe we'll end this war).
