...Square location at 14 JFK St., we noticed something intriguing. The windows were still covered up, no indications of a new business were immediately evident (at least, from where we were standing)...yet there were definitely people inside. We peeked through the door and saw a placard that said something along the lines of "Russell House Tavern closed for a private function." Interesting, we thought.

Neither did McCain escape the wrath of the signs in Nevada: one Tea Partyer hoisted the message "Reid-McCain: Two Sides of the Same Damn Coin. Vote Them Out." Another placard featured McCain's picture with the words "No More RINOs [Republicans in Name Only] - Retire McCain."

If you get your information from conservative sources, the crowd was hundreds of thousands strong...

...demonstrators outside the embassy were a ragtag bunch. Their rank included cancer survivors, unemployed tradesmen and an elderly woman too wobbly to manage both a protest placard and a cane - in short, precisely the people socialized health care is designed to save. Jon Burden, whose wife's breast cancer is in remission, said he wanted critics to know that "without the NHS either my wife would be dead or I would be broke...

...majority of environmental groups support the bill, including the Natural Resources Defense Council and the League of Conservation Voters, even if some groups feel that the measure is too weak. When Waxman announced the agreement in a press conference Wednesday, about 30 supporters wearing T shirts and carrying placards that read MAKE OUR ENERGY CLEAN, MAKE IT AMERICAN stood behind him. Still, the support of their groups remains tenuous. "It's not a perfect bill and we're concerned that the Senate might weaken the near-term emissions reduction caps," said Brenda Ekwurzel, a member of the Union of Concerned...
