Some comic relief. If you want a good laugh read Shaw's comment to lisa in the previous post comments section, you'll pee your pants!! Anyway....This rightwinger has posted a piece to teabaggers who show up to Glenn Becks "big speech", how to get around in Washington DC and how to avoid the boogey man. Don't go venturing into the outskirts of DC, you might run into some minorities, some ANGRY minorities! LOL. Clarence Page said it sounded like satire!
Here's the blog posting the visitors guide to the rally,
Safety and Mores
DC's population includes refugees from every country, as the families of embassy staffs of third world countries tend to stay in DC whenever a revolution in their homeland means that anyone in their family would be in danger if they went back. Most taxi drivers and many waiters/waitresses (especially in local coffee shops like the Bread and Chocolate chain) are immigrants, frequently from east Africa or Arab countries. As a rule, African immigrants do not like for you to assume they are African Americans and especially do not like for you to guess they are from a neighboring country (e.g. Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia) with whom they may have political or military tensions. It's rare to meet anyone who gets really offended, but you can still be aware of the issue.
Many parts of DC are safe beyond the areas I will list here, but why chance it if you don't know where you are?
If you are on the subway stay on the Red line between Union Station and Shady Grove, Maryland. If you are on the Blue or Orange line do not go past Eastern Market (Capitol Hill) toward the Potomac Avenue stop and beyond; stay in NW DC and points in Virginia. Do not use the Green line or the Yellow line. These rules are even more important at night. There is of course nothing wrong with many other areas; but you don't know where you are, so you should not explore them.
If on foot or in a cab or bus, stay in Bethesda, Arlington (preferably north Arlington), Crystal City, Falls Church, Annandale, or Alexandria, or in DC only in northwest DC west (i.e. larger street numbers) of 14th or 16th streets, or if on Capitol Hill only in SE Capitol Hill (zip 20003) between 1st and 8th Streets, not farther out than 8th (e.g. 9th, 10th etc). (Or stay on the Mall and at the various monuments.) Again there are many other lovely places, from the Catholic University of America to Silver Spring, Maryland. But you don't know where you are so you cannot go, especially at night, unless you take me with you.

I deleted the addresses they offered, how rude to post these addresses and then say go protest in front of their homes! These teabaggers are disgusting!
Now a bit of info about Becks "big(or not) speech"
Washington — Glenn Beck says he didn't intend to schedule Saturday's "Restoring Honor" rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. But it's a convergence of time and place that the demonstrative political talk-show host describes as "divine providence."
Some have used other words.
Civil-rights leaders aligned with Democrats are recoiling at the Fox News superpundit's plan to gather his faithful on the same steps where King delivered his call for racial justice. They're planning their own march in honor of the speech and criticizing Beck for trying to "hijack" King's legacy.
Beck says, this has nothing to do with politics. (HA!!)
"This has everything to do with, 'Who are we?' " he says, over an earnest soundtrack of soft piano, in a video promotion of the rally posted on his website. "There is profound change happening in America, and there is a window of opportunity that comes in the lifespan of every republic, every civilization, a window of opportunity to reach for that brass ring or to miss it. We're not the people that we've allowed ourselves to become."
Beck is hoping for a crowd of more than 100,000. (HA!)
There was an estimated 250,000 at King's 1963 address.
Highlighting what they see as Beck's hypocrisy, the Rev. Al Sharpton and other civil-rights leaders have decided to hold their own rally.
Sharpton's National Action Network, the National Urban League and the NAACP are planning to march from a Washington, D.C., high school to the site of a planned King memorial, just blocks from the Lincoln Memorial.
The original emphasis of their gathering was on closing educational disparities, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan is among those scheduled to participate. But recently, the groups' leaders have focused on Beck and Palin as philosophical opposites of King's supporters.
"In '63, they went to Washington for a strong national government to protect civil rights," Sharpton said in an interview. "He and Palin are going there for a weak national government and to advocate state rights."
Wow what a piece of crap Beck is! If you are a Beck lover of course then you will think this rally/speech is something of a divine intervention. But what it really is, is a man who craves your undivided attention so he can steal your money!
