1. local news in DC said protests are smaller than in past years.
Not much more was said, but maybe there's something in the Post today?

The weather is beautiful here so that shouldn't be a factor.

2. Thanks! I remember reading that people were starting to camp
out, then, I heard nothing else.

3. I would love to see a (real) poll showing how many people are even
aware that CAFTA is on the horizon. "Free press", my ass. "Free trade", my ass.

4. the cartoon news network actually covered them...
for about three seconds. Mostly to say how much smaller the crowd was as compared to past years. cnn says there were 250 there.
