Jon Stewart Rally To Restore Sanity Could Dwarf Glenn Beck Rally

All this blogger can say is thank God for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Their Rally To Restore Sanity - and they should add "To America" - could dwarf Glenn Beck's rally that was an insult to Dr. Martin Luther King and bring as many people to Washington DC as came for the inauguration of Barack Obama as President Of The United States.

That's this blogger's prediction.

And before we go deeper into what this rally's all about, and yes, this blogger's going, CNN's Rick Sanchez should be called to task for mocking the rally as being by faux news reporters, referring to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

Well, let's see. Rick Sanchez is the one who keeps covering Sarah Palin when we're all trying to avoid paying attention to her. Sarah Palin's not a top search or top Twitter trend of late, and unless she does something stupid, so why focus on her? Sanchez show gave lip service to the Rally To Restore Sanity, but since his own ratings are tanking, perhaps its decisions like the over-coverage of Palin that are the reason for CNN's problems?

That's why we need The Rally To Restore Sanity.

The Rally, planned for October 30, 2010, is designed to bring together rational people. Or as the website explains it:



Ours is a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority. If we had to sum up the political view of our participants in a single sentence... we couldn't. That's sort of the point.

Think of our event as Woodstock, but with the nudity and drugs replaced by respectful disagreement; the Million Man March, only a lot smaller, and a bit less of a sausage fest; or the Gathering of the Juggalos, but instead of throwing our feces at Tila Tequila, we'll be actively *not* throwing our feces at Tila Tequila. Join us in the shadow of the Washington Monument. And bring your indoor voice. Or don't. If you'd rather stay home, go to work, or drive your kids to soccer practice... Actually, please come anyway. Ask the sitter if she can stay a few extra hours, just this once. We'll make it worth your while.

This is going to be an exciting event.  More details as they come in.
