Mother Earth Rains On Earth Day Concert

The greenies showed up in Washington D.C. yesterday for a big Earth Day concert, but Mother Earth had ideas of her own:

Yes, it rained, and yes, the ground was slick and muddy, but no, it did not prevent thousands of people from coming to the Mall yesterday to join an estimated 1 billion people around the world who were participating in Earth Day celebrations to promote environmental awareness.

Despite downpours, the show went on for most of the day with singers and speakers under a huge tent as spectators under a sea of umbrellas hollered and hooted. The rain caused fits and starts; during one break in the program, some people headed to nearby museums for cover. And eventually, the weather did win out. Late in the afternoon the rest of the event was canceled, but not before the environmentally conscious had their say.

If Al Gore had been there it would have snowed.
