Restore the Sanity 2010
I try not to blog too often on Jon Stewart and the Daily Show…else I would hardly blog about anything else…but when he announced his “Restore the Sanity” rally for October 30 in Washington DC, I had to get on board.
Lets face it, things have gotten really weird…and it started long before Obama. When George W. Bush was in office I was always disturbed when I would see, normally calm, intelligent Democrat acquaintances suddenly have a Jekyll & Hyde reaction at the very mention of his name. Eyes would glaze over, teeth would gnash, and no reason could penetrate the notion that from the time W. got up in the morning till he went to bed at night, he was Satan incarnate.

Now it seems with Obama…its gotten even worse. If I mention to some Republican friends that although I wouldn’t vote for him, I think he’s articulate and has some good qualities I will inevitably be given a look of sheer incongruity.
“But Steve, surely you know he is a: (Choose 1)
A) Atheist
B) Muslim
C) Black Panther Christian
who was born in
A) Kenya
B) Indonesia (but don’t ask me where that’s at)
C) hell (and is the anti-Christ)
and he’s trying to
A) create a socialist Amerika
B) make it legal for a man to be able to marry his own pet
c) take away all my rocket propelled grenade launchers
and I know all of this because:
A) Rush Limbaugh
B) Glenn Beck
c) Sarah Palin
told me so (by inspiration of the Holy Spirit). So here is your
A) handgun
B) shotgun
C) rocket propelled grenade launcher
and get ready, because this revolution will be televised on
A) Fox News
B) Fox News
C) Fox News
I give credit to Stewart in his promotion of the rally. Although he vents Left in his politics, he takes an equal swipe at both sides of the craziness. And they have both gone crazy!
I wish I were in the States in October because this is one rally I would attend. Its my kind of people…people who I can stand with and proclaim with one voice,
“WE ARE HERE…but only till 6:00 because we have a sitter!”
