My local newspaper, The Sun (Baltimore region), didn't even make mention of the march. Rather, on the front page, they had a segment about a gourd-throwing contest. I'm pretty sure they're going to get a fairly angry letter from me.

Edit to add:

When I mentioned this to my mom, she said it was probably because they didn't know about it. Her exact words were, "So there were, what, ten people there?" Grr.

A fundie friend (okay, not really a friend...) of mine referred to it as "the 100 man march"... <img src="graemlins/boohoo.gif" border="0" alt="[Boo Hoo]" />

Pat Robertson said we'd have enough to fill maybe a phone booth.

Hmm. Perhaps I will find the exact figure of the people there and write it on a piece of paper and wrap it around a rock and throw it through Robertson's window late some night.

I hope that Pat is enjoying the CSPAN coverage of that rather large phone booth (actually, the only phones were cell phones, of which there seemed to be a lot).

And I hope that Pat also enjoyed the huge number of "atheists in foxholes." I even managed to get up on the stage myself (US Navy, 1966-1974), but I doubt anybody saw me in the back row behind all those others.

Ellen Johnson reported the official count to me as 2,500. I didn't hear the park services count.
