What a day it was. Crammed like a sardine on the Metro train. I could not believe the number of folks going into D.C. Arrived later than expected and did not have time to meet up with a TH group as I had hoped. But I did get to meet a fellow blogger – Bobbie (http://speakupamerica.blogtownhall.com). She’s a hoot.
The march down Pennsylvania Avenue was breathtaking with all the people, signs all over the place and, a general sense of ‘we have had enough’ with an out of control national government and its lack of accountability and responsibility. That was my take.
Now I had to avail myself of the facilities at one point. (I have a bladder the size of a real acorn.) So I wandered into one of the buildings close by in order to get relief. I get inside and there were people checking purses, backpacks, etc. Ok, that’s cool. The guy who checked my purse felt the purse and opened the side with a bottle of water. He told me to leave the water bottle in my purse and not open it in the building. No problem. I then opened and offered to show him the other side of my little purse’s contents and he declined! He was satisfied with having patted both sides of my purse and discovering a water bottle.
I ask you, how do the House and Senate expect me to have any confidence in a government that can’t even oversee the proper training of security personnel? Like they should be in charge of ANYTHING to do with my money ...
