Er,...where are the demonstrators?
I know its the middle of the night but his creepiness has been there several hours and I'm still not hearing anything.
I thought this was going to be the "motha" of all protests - keep the worm awake - dog his every step -even from a great distance -but I'm not hearing or seeing anything. Maybe the buildup was too much. Drat!

They need their beauty rest so they can look good for the British television cameras. I don't expect to see anything here because we can't even see American protests. Commander Clown doesn't like it.

4. They heard him say how lucky they are...
...to live in a country that allows free speech, so they're staying home to celebrate.

5. Wednesday is the big day
Should be starting around midnight CST or so.

Here's where to keep track:

You're unlikely to see too much on US TV (unless things get really crazy).

There are already a few threads on UK IMC with photos from Tuesday's protests (in front of the US embassy and elsewhere).

6. The mass demonstrations are planned for Thursday.
There was a march by several thousand environmentalists tonight to the U.S. Embassy. Stay tuned.

8. BBC radio news spoke of a warm-up rally tonight
Got an overflow crowd of mostly middle aged folk. The real stories will be during the daylight hours (London is 5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard time)
