Amazing. The nation's print media actually gave decent coverage to Wednesday's highly successful Virtual March on Washington. Even such right-wing bastions as the Washington Post and the Washington Times -- but not, as best I could tell, the New York Post -- gave the event their begrudging attention.

I feel bad that I neglected to promote this protest in advance. However, I did participate, sending faxes to Pennsylania's U.S. senators, Sen. Arlen Specter (R) and Sen. Rick Santorum (R) -- also known as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, respectively -- on Wednesday afternoon, and, since the phone lines were so busy that day, by calling both Republicans on Thursday.

It's not too late to call, you know. In fact, it's never too late to call. And there's never a reason not to, even, as in my case, i.e. represented in the Senate by two brain-dead men, when the effort appears hopeless.

And here's a little secret that will negate even the last excuse you've come up with to avoid doing so: You can call your senators and representatives toll free at 1 (800) 839-5276.

Do it!
