President Obama Expresses Support for Rally to Restore Sanity

Today President Obama expressed his support for Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity when he said “They may not be following every single issue, because they just don’t have time... but they are just expecting some common sense and some courtesy in how people interact.”
Obama wasn't sure of the name but thought it was "Americans in Favor of Return to Sanity," saying he is amused by the idea.
There is some speculation as to whether Obama will actually be at the rally, but that remains to be seen and frankly, unlikely.
Of course Jon Stewart aired Obama's comment on The Daily Show, to great applause from the audience. Obama's endorsement is sure to make the Rally to Restore Sanity even more popular.

Buses from Manhattan

Rally to Keep Fear Alive

Rally to Keep Fear Alive

Naturally Stephen Colbert is holding a "counter-rally," the rally to Keep Fear Alive. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have long been friends and partners in crime.
According to the Rally to Keep Fear Alive site, the reasoning behind the rally is:
"America, the Greatest Country God ever gave Man, was built on three bedrock principles: Freedom. Liberty. And Fear -- that someone might take our Freedom and Liberty. But now, there are dark, optimistic forces trying to take away our Fear -- forces with salt and pepper hair and way more Emmys than they need. They want to replace our Fear with reason. But never forget -- "Reason" is just one letter away from "Treason." Coincidence? Reasonable people would say it is, but America can't afford to take that chance."

Stephen Colbert's notoriety for his lack of political correctness and bringing light to political problems through comedy is sure to draw even more people.

Rally to Restore Sanity

Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity on October 30th promises to be an unprecedented event on the National Mall, to be paralleled with President Obama's inauguration. No one is really sure what will happen at this rally, but it is sure to be of epic proportions.
The rally is supposed to be for people who are tired of all the fighting and bickering between parties and the attention given to radicals like the Tea Party. According to the official site the target audience could be described as:
"We're looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it's appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles."

With a comedian leading the rally it is sure to be a good time for everyone, but Jon Stewart has been known to throw out many zingers, calling out prominent politicians and figures throughout the world.
One thing is for sure; I will be at the Jon Stewart rally.
