Over two years in DC, and I've yet to go to any political rally. I thought about going to the inauguration, but as we didn't have tickets, the idea of getting up early to stand in the cold, in a large crowd, so far away that I doubt we could have seen anything just wasn't enough to get me motivated. I sort of regret it, but honestly sleeping in that morning felt really good.
Still, a rally less stint in DC would just feel wrong, and I can't bring myself to attend a tea party, even sarcasticly.
Fortunately for me, Jon Stewart has swooped in and made everything better. I'm beyond excited to spend October 30th on the National Mall at "the Rally to Restore Sanity." They'll even supply us with signs if we're too lazy to make our own (the man knows his audience). Signs with great slogans like “I Disagree With You, But I’m Pretty Sure You’re Not Hitler,” and “Take It Down a Notch, America.”
Not to over-hype it or anything, but this might be the most political fun I ever have in this town. Or just the most political fun this town has ever had, period. Also, for once I'll have weekend plans. I can hardly wait.
This sounds like the best rally ever. Love it! Have a great time. :)

I want my own sign that says “I Disagree With You, But I’m Pretty Sure You’re Not Hitler,” because how useful and awesome would that be?
ReplyDeleteI love the Hitler sign too....so awesome.
