Merged Rally to Restore Sanity

I am sorry that Mr Corey and I and Shawmutt and the rest of you good people couldn't get together for a face to face. My phone died early in the day and left me incommunicado. We had VIP seating. It was really more like a calm mosh pit. There were about 12 people between me and the stage and I was with all me bus buddies. With that multi page derail I am surprised that no one mentioned TI's appearance by green screen in Kid Rocks song, since he is currently incarcerated for parole violations. How dare John have people with pasts, and stuff?! What an outrage!! (not) I got a friggin shout out from both Stewart and Colbert! Stewart was walking across the stage looking out into the crowd and looked at me and said "what's up dude?" I looked over each should and then back at John and he said it again so I gave him the "what's up dude" head nod back. My bus buddies were sooo jealous. (I was wearing my Upper Crust shirt and I'm 6'1" and 280 lbs so I'm kind of hard to miss). Then John and Stephen made a Star Trek reference joke and I turned around to see if my dad was laughing because we are Star Trek geeks and when I turned back around, Stephen is looking at me and "hey, this guy gets it!" My bus buddies were ready to string me up. We never did get to actually meet them, though. Overall, it was an awesome event and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. As far as attendance goes, the park police that we spoke with said that by 1:30 PM the crowd had passed the point on the mall that holds 300,000. This did not count the side streets. Side streets were packed between 1 and 2 blocks from the mall. The transit cop we talked to at about 4 said that the metro had 600,000 riders up to that point. There was a link posted earlier to a Christian Science Monitor article that said total riders for the day were 850,000.
Here is a pic of my bus buddies.
 
I will say that the overhead crowd shots from Beck's rally look a lot cooler, but that's just because of the pool.
 
So defend Beck's rally, until more people attend the "others'," then change strategies by calling everyone who attends any rally idiots, ergo making more idiots on the other side. Pretty funny, and I'm sure it applies to pundit television shows, too. "Everyone who watches those pundit shows are idiots." So Olbermann isn't so bad after all, proved by the fact he has fewer viewers, 'eh Cicero?

They should let Stewart handle the satire. He brandishes a satirical sword that has a point and an edge. By comparison, these moonbats are just unarmed.

Here is another sample of a "Rally For Sanity" attendee's notion of "satire."

Because the rally was just to restore sanity wasn't it? Clearly there was no fear element to the rally at all considering that it was called the "rally to restore sanity and/or fear".
 
I've enjoyed looking at pictures of the signs. There are some good ones. Here is my favorite, which I only found on Inside Higher Ed.

And the liberal rally attendees spreading fear won the day. Stewart will be crestfallen.

What I find interesting is how Fox News reported the rally:

I am surprised that the announcers can walk straight after their spin on it.... :D
