Phew,the Mobs Have Left Washington

++The American Spring has a huge success. It trended #4 on Twitter under the hashtag American Spring Excuses. It generated more good humor than anything in quite a while. 

++It seems people watching President Obama and Vice President Biden outdrew the American Spring. This morning from Puerto Rico,bloggers posted shots of the gay Pride parade in the Old City and they outdrew the American Spring.

++Posters at Democratic Underground deserve applause for the most clever visuals on the American Spring. This morning someone posted a clip from Woody Allen's "Bananas"about how a revolution succeeds.

++Lots of posters noted that the woman explaining that the millions were stranded at campgrounds was wearing a Julian Asange t-shirt and that websites covering the event live hailed Edward Snowden.

++Someone actually used the new software to estimate crowds and came up with 300. Yesterday,it was a gorgeous day but the scene looked like a lazy day at college with a lonely guitarist entertaining a handful of people relaxing on the lawn. I think I saw a few stranglers here in Old Town getting ice cream cones.
