Yesterday, Ken Layne at Wonkette explained why “Massive Pro-Immigration Rallies To Be Ignored Nationwide… “
Immigration-reform rallies will be held in some 80 cities tomorrow, with many thousands of people expected to protest just at Lafayette Square behind the White House. So why will these May Day demonstrations be ignored by the Main Stream Media? There are many good reasons!

@ OIL SPILL! If you’re not in DC trying to get a trophy lick off Jay Leno’s sweaty corporate nutsack or knocking over old men in Colonel Sanders’ costumes to get a glance at Gwyneth Paltrow at the Derby, you — as a media professional — will be doing standups along the Gulf Coast somewhere, anywhere, really, with water behind you. The Gulf always looks dirty anyway, so who cares if the shot is off your motel balcony in the Florida Panhandle. That’s the Gulf, right?…

One of the Wonkette commentors added: “How much you want to bet that the signs tomorrow will contain better spelling and grammar than the native-born mouth drooler rallies?”
Barring an outbreak of actual journalism, is anyone among the Balloon Juice Commentariat planning to attend their local rallies?
