More Tea Party pics are coming soon...

but I had to put this up first:

This is the entire lead page off CNN this morning at 9:20. You have to scroll clear down to their "iReport" section (which is one page down from the top, even on my gigantic monitor) to find something involving the Tea Party protests yesterday, and when you finally get something, what is it? A video of an average-looking man saying that he and his wife just want to pay their taxes to "fund the military and build bridges", that he doesn't "know what they're upset about" and that the Tea Parties are "frightening".

Absolutely unbelievable. The media as we knew it no longer exists.

Seattle Tea Party Protest, Part I

The Tea Party protests started in Seattle, with a protest set up by a blogger named Liberty Belle in February. A month and a half later, this happened (sorry about the image size, click on it for full):


I'd guess there were 300-400 people there, and I left less than half-way through (late-term pregnancy and protesting are not the best match known to man).

Best signs (part I):


(Liberty and Tyranny is a new book out by Mark Levin. It's a conservative manifesto of sorts-- and has been number 1 on Amazon and the New York Times since its release.)

Tea Party
Seattle
5:45- 7:45

I'll be the massively pregnant one with a sign and a rockin' awesome camera. I'll update this post with pics as the day goes.

I'm a little nervous-- I've never been to anything like this. I promise not to riot (not that I think there's going to be one, but I keep remembering the Seattle WTO riot in the 90's... maybe all that caffeine goes to people's heads?). Pajamas Media and Instapundit have Tea Party links, and are well worth looking at.

UPDATE: Way too many good pics to add to this post. They're in later posts, so scroll up.
