Two million people on the Mall...

...and the Gannett Star runs a tiny three-column, six-column-inch-with-a-redirect-to-page-10 article -- torn from the teletypes, as it were -- at the bottom of Sunday's page one.

Emphasising "anger". Claiming the whole thing is about "conservative protesters warn[ing] of dire future for U.S. if Obama's policies aren't challenged".

More important than two million people exercising their right of protest against their government was apparently the fact that Manual High School hasn't had a yearbook since the Class of 2006 and a big splash article about "The Cost of Dying".

Our local fishwrap does not, I fear, have its priorities straight.

SUDDEN THOUGHT: After visiting at Velociman's, it struck me that I just can't help thinking that in any other country, two million people marching on the nation's capital would mean the overthrow of the government and the tyrant at its head.

MORE: Here's a picture of yesterday's front page, for reference.

Oh, and of the two pictures they ran after the kick to page 10, only one was of the march -- the other was a picture of Øbama giving a speech in Minneapolis.

Which leads me to this observation: CØWARD. What did you think they were going to do, march on the White House, grab you out, and toss you in the Potomac?

AND: Byron York: "What did Barack Obama and his party's leadership on Capitol Hill do to bring doctors and truck drivers together in common cause on the streets of the nation’s capital? More than anything, these people are afraid that the new president is running the country off a cliff. They’re in no mood to remain silent now."
