Did you hear anything about that?


No I didn't. Never heard of Rudolph brand.

Watching Dick Armey speaking on C-span during the "Taxpayer March on Washington". I hope
the same crowd estimator for the million man march is counting today.

We recently received an e-mail from people who were involved in the march
that had an estimate obtained from D.C. Park Police of 2.5M people.


The National Taxpayers Union says that the 1M+ estimates actually were
plants by those opposed to the rally, in order to produce a letdown when
the numbers actually proved to be much smaller.

I think it was local NBC TV who said at 11:00 last night that the D.C.
police were estimating 75,000. The NTPU said 20,000 - 30,000 at mid-day.
So I suspect your e-mail was a hoax.

Well Ed I kind of wondered about that myself. However the source of that
e-mail to me was from a personal friend who went to school with the lady
that attended the march and her picture at the march was featured in the
e-mail I received. Now the numbers obtained from the D.C. Park Police could
well have been just rectal estimates?? I do know that there are a bunch of
people that I talk to that didn't go to D.C for the parade that sure agree
with the anti-spending issue supposedly focused on by the march. I would be
surprised if you couldn't find 10million people that don't believe that we
can deficit spend into prosperity.
