Marching Like We Mean It...We Do

Unlike Phil Ochs, We Are A Marching Anymore

January 21, 2017

Just a quick word. I and I were down at the Women’s March in Philly earlier today. The crowd was more than double what was expected – as was the one in DC. Official estimates were 50,000 in Philly and 500,000 in DC. Both crowds were bigger than the crowd who showed up to hear Chrump get inaugurated and then deliver his already infamous “Carnage in Amerika” speech. If you have not heard it consider yourself lucky.

If like all of us here at Paying Attention you avoided being exposed to any of the enhanced inauguration techniques, you might want to see a few poignant and priceless shots of Michelle Obama in her valiant attempt to survive the event. She wore the expressions of the majority of Americans and countless people across the globe. Can you imagine – one of our nation’s most amazing and well-loved women – sitting through that? There are not enough words to express what her expressions say so very clearly.

Take note all ye in Congress and all the rest of you Swamp dwellers. We’re here, we’re in gear and you’re gonna hear.

The late great Phil Ochs

We are the majority. March every day in your own way.
