Some Folks Had More Pressing Needs

Headlines from today's Wausau Daily Herald.

NTC job fair draws 2,000

About 1,000 protest government spending at 'Tea Party'

"About". I wonder if the Wausau group used the same crowd-counting techniques as Madison.

The organizers at the Madison rally estimated the crowd size at 5,000. That would be correct if you counted every one, including the curiosity seekers and lunchtime walkers, on the Square and the staff members and visitors inside the Capitol. Plus the desk staff at the Inn on the Park. Drop a zero and you're more likely to have an accurate count.

(I was there and took pictures. I made a point of stopping by during a midday bike ride.)
