Politics & 80 Languages in D.C.

Whether you hate
it or love it, freedom of speech is a wonderful right to have. Sadly enough spouting off at the mouth in a number of
countries about the way high ranking authorities are running things could probably be the cause for the removal of your
entire existence a.k.a. a mysterious disappearance or if you’re lucky a few years of jail time. In America it seems
people can say what they please, when they please and how they please and no one can stop them. (Pokes tongue out.)
Every Saturday morning the folks over at Yellowcakewalk feel the need to
exhaust this right in more words than one. From noon until dark they gather to mock our President in over 80 languages. Some of the brightly colored signs have messages
of peace and justice, but others simply express sour feelings toward President Bush and tell him, well you can probably
guess. Normally I do my best to keep ill vocabulary words from slipping into the mouths of our very worldly travelers
and readers here at Gadling, but this one seemed interesting enough to let it slide once. If politics are your thing
and you’ve been bubbling over, ready to storm off at the trap and let your voice be heard a trip to the capital could
certainly be calling you.

My only advice – visit when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
