I made the mistake of driving over the bridge on Saturday, because I wanted to drop by the National Gallery. I didn't know the stupid anti-healthcare idiots were having a rally. However, I managed to grab a parking spot near my work building, which is two blocks from the Mall (so no, there weren't really that many of them -- the media exaggerates -- if you can find a parking spot as easily as I did, then there aren't that many protesters).
However, walking through the throngs of idiots to get to the museum was HORRIBLE. My wife and I held hands tightly and tried very hard not to get angry.
I find it funny and sad that many of the "we hate taxes" idiots were nevertheless availing themselves of tax-funded facilities such as Smithsonian's National Gallery, not only to view the art but also to use the restrooms.
After a while we escaped down to the sculpture gallery area because apparently the nude human form is too much for right-wingers to accept. It was nice and quiet down there.
