TAX DAY Tea Party photos from the Washingon, D.C. protest. Fox News was there, of course. We saw Fox's Carl Cameron on site before the protest began. What's amusing about this photo is that we waited while another husband was taking a picture of his wife in front of the Fox logo. A CNN truck is parked just to the left of the Fox truck, and his wife asked "Don't you want a picture of the CNN truck?" The husband responded, "Nah."



"King" Obama created quite a stir in the crowd. The best part is that the young lady under the mask is ... wait for it ... black.



CO2 is plant food. Not much enthusiasm for "cap and tax."



Lot's of enthusiasm for change.



Still clinging to "God, guns, and Liberty" - with crib notes for liberals.



This one pegged the sarcasm meter.



See? Obama did reduce her taxes ....



This one came close to pegging the sarcasm meter.



Yes, we still have that privilege, and the Tea Partiers take it seriously.



The best sign of the evening - so good that former House Majority Leader Dick Armey mentioned it in his address to the crowd.



MSNBC took quite a beating, not just from the crowd, but the speakers as well (more in another post).



Another reminder that November is coming.



And finally, the counter-protest. They seem a bit math-challenged. The 95% should be more like 9.5% - but what's a factor of 10 among friends? They made two loops around the perimeter. We saw a couple of other counter-protestors, but they stayed at the fringe of the crowd, and were generally silent.
