Deana Schupp, a cable company worker from Florida, stared out over the huge crowd on Washington DC’s National Mall and had a sudden but welcome realisation. “When I see this crowd, I feel I am not alone. We are here for sanity and there are a lot of us,” she said. It was, she admitted, her first protest march.
She definitely had company. Tens of thousands of people gathered here in what must surely be the strangest-titled mass protest ever held in America’s capital: The Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Hope.
[...]
The crowd was enormous – easily a quarter of a million people. As the masses listened to music and comedy routines broadcast from the tiny distant stage over giant screens all the way down the Mall, it was an impressive display of the power of comedy and celebrity. Whether it was a display of the power of American liberalism was much harder to say. Many observers saw the rally as a response to Fox News pundit Glenn Beck’s recent “Restoring Honour” rally, which occupied the same space several months ago. That event, which attracted between 250,000 and 500,000 people, was seen as symbolising the rising power of conservatism.
Oh, I forgot. Many of the Czars are doing things few people know about. For example, a list of approved appliances, those that are green, is being drawn up, to spare us the ordeal of making such difficult choices ourselves.
AND the Carbon tax is alive and well, although it couldn’t pass Congress, not to worry, the EPA will make it law via its regulatory power…now everyone will have to help save the planet, whether they like it or not.
Also the Czars are right now, at this very minute, resurrecting the fairness doctrine. Its so unfair the Tea Party conservatives run radio and NET news shows, when Democrat News shows suffer financially. From now on they will pay to put on diverse programing, or they won’t be allowed to exist.
Its about time!
Too much freedom of discussion is no good for the public. Thanks to President Obama’s foresight, we now have Supreme Court Justice Kagan who can legislate from her bench “deskewers” who will correct any incorrect speech from the extremist Republicans…
I just love our new Progressive Society, its so wonderfully advanced, Big Brother is welcome in my house, church and workplace. I can’t wait till we have Obama’s Youth corp on every street corner, helping us keep our hope up.
and thank you, every one of you liberals on this board, who helped me see the light.
you should have your own angry white guy radio talk show
and then have your own rally
Hey, I’m for sanity. Everybody is for sanity as long as they don’t have to agree with anybody else as to what sanity is.

This blog is a cunning social psychology experiment run by by a race of hyper-intelligent, pan-dimensional beings who sometimes hang around Magrathea.
I was there and had a blast. Too bad the sound system sucked, tho.

To Alfred “Alf get a life, go out and make some real friends put down the mouse and and have a conversation with a real person in person. Just saying yes to fries at the drive-up dosen’t count. ”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Who the hell would WANT to talk with him in real life? He’s intollerable on the interwebitube… can you imagine having a wild-eyed, unshaven, unwashed, psychotic person with no shoes and wearing jebus robes walking up to you on the street to “talk”?
