Rockin the Capitol!

So my friend Robyn and I left for DC yesterday at 5am. It's now 11:30pm a day later and I'm sitting back at my own computer. That's right kids: 42 hours, 790 miles, 4 Metro rides, and two fantastic days later, it's over.

The Freedom Rally was great. It wasn't an enormous turnout which is good and bad. It's bad because it gives creedence to the haters that want to say, "See no one cares about Ron Paul." Which, if you've met any of his followers, is just an abomination. We love him like mice love cheese.

It was good because there wasn't a huge crowd and I got this phatty picture:




HA! YAY ME! Dr. No Himself!! He also delivered a short albeit riveting speech which if I can figure out how to convert from film to a file, I'll post on here. Wish me luck with that one.

This picture has now claimed the ranking of Coolest Picture of Megan with a Famous Person. The previous (13 consecutive year) holder was this photo, taken in the summer of '95 when The Grind came to Carowinds. When I went to have my picture taken with the lovely Eric Nies... he could not stop himself. Who can blame him, really?




Anyway, so the Freedom Rally was the shiz-nittle bam. We met lots of cool people from around the country, heard lots of cool people speak, and for those of you in NC, met this guy: BJ Lawson. He's running for Congress in NC and he's a really neat guy. Highly educated, very bright and is pretty much on RP's platform. So give him a look. Robyn has decided she wants to run for Congress. That is until I told her how much it will cost. I suppose we should start planning the car washes...




Our shirts said, "I just saved a bunch of money by switching to..." and then RP's mug.



The back said, "Ron Paul Revolution: Change our Fate in 2008!"



Look at this little guy!!!
