Rally to Restore Sanity in Literature

When Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert announced their rally in DC, I knew I had to go. I knew immediately what my protest sign would be. Yes, this is me, doing my small part to restore sanity to the Duniverse:

The sign was AMAZINGLY popular. I lost count at about 30 people taking my picture specifically because of the sign. Out of those, only 2 or 3 asked if they were "that bad". Everyone else was yelling, "Yeah, they DO suck!"

Here's a close up of the sign that I made the morning of the rally. I was very happy with the end result with as little time I had to make it.

I'm hoping to find some more of the pics people took so it doesn't just come off as me boasting I climbed every mountain with the only proof being a pic of me on a trail with a walking stick.

here's a close up of the sign:

The Rally itself was amazing fun!

Yeah, the Jedi costume was my second choice, but it worked.

Well, that's just about the most awesome thing I've ever seen. :lol: :clap: :dance: :clap:

But, man, no support for McDune?!?!? I find that difficult to believe.**

Keith claims they get "thousands of letters of support," you know. :snooty:

**By which I mean I totally believe it

Awesome! I really wanted to go to that rally, but it's on the opposite side of the continent, just couldn't make it. I hear there was significantly more than double as many people as that idiot Beck's rally. :lol:

Ditto.

That's because Beck is not a real libertarian. He's a neocon through and through. Jon Stewart; however, is a real libertarian and far more charismatic regardless of his politics.

I don't know if Stewart is really that libertarian, seems more like a middle of the road kinda guy to me.

True, he does have a few un-libertarian views (like on healthcare) but he's a lot closer than Nazi Beck is.

Most sane people fall in the middle, neither end of the spectrum really shows much promise. Most (more than half, by a long shot) of people are idiots and need to be told what to do/taken care of, but that doesn't mean the other 10% should get to rule with an iron fist.

I don't think I've actually heard Stewart say very many things I ever dissagreed with.
