Redemption happens
This deserves more than an update to my previous post. Instapundit has the Rick Santelli backlash totally covered. The story was false, so the web sites that promoted it just took down their posts, instead of publishing a retraction. Barry Ritholz has also covered the disappearance of the story (this is called credit where credit is due).

NYC Tea Party
The NYC Tea Party was fairly well -attended. I would have liked to see a thousand people, but it is New York--that bastion of liberalism--after all.
The crowd was varied as far as age, but I have to say that minorities were a little underrepresented. On the other hand, one speaker urged the audience not to adjust their cameras, because he was, in fact, a black Republican.
Aside from Obama himself, the politician who seemed to get the most attention was Charles Shumer for his quote that the American people don't care about the "porky" provisions of the stimulus bill. (This group didn't care about the stimulus portions of the pork bill.)
UPDATE: Good photo gallery from Jeff Smith.
