Rhetorical Firebombing

Scares me more than Afghanis

So they interjected a little levity in it today on the Mall in DC with the John Stewart "Rally for Sanity" and the Colbert counter-punch "Rally for Fear." I was going to go to New York today but New York came to DC instead. All of it- the mob scene was larger than a republican inaugural only without the crowd control. People were dripping off trees like Zachias to get a view.
The signs were priceless. People had religion on their minds apparently. "God hates flags?" "God hates haters." and a few irreverent halloween costumes of cows dressed as Nuns wearing signs "holy cow" and not a few popes and bishops complete with mitres and the cone heads. Some more signs that made me laugh out loud: "This sign doubles as cover in event of federal fly-over" 'don't be a douche-vote" 'Are you a good witch or a bad witch" (didn't know if they meant Palin or the chick from delaware) "Please don't stomp on my head" "I thought this was the line for Georgetown cupcakes" "I'm Pro-Life-Please don't kill all the people" "Keep calm and submit to your robot overlords" and my favorite "Insanity is a bad thing?"

Politics in Washington has had its first mutiny. Thank God. Really. Because he can't stop rolling his eyes already.

The clear 2012 winner: Stewart and Colbert for President and Vice President- you pick which.
