A "flash mob" has gathered in front of the white house singing and chanting USA USA.

Yep and there it is, the mention of social media on the big media. People all over the country are getting in touch about this. Yep, yep, yep.

So how the fuck are all these TV expert motherfuckers who did the "coverage" of the launching of the attack on Iraq etc all available on a quiet Sunday night? They're bringing out the big guns, like they just sit in suspended animation until called upon.

They are on call for shit like this and none of them will let a substitute get the gig if they can help it.

Sunday night is a big night in news -- Monday papers, remember? Kind of irrelevant nowadays, but the vestige is powerful.

They get a call that says "Get to work, now" or they get a message from one of their govt sources that says "get to work". Why is that so odd of a concept?
