Gettin' Ready

We are attending the Boise "Rally for Sanity" today.  For anyone who hasn't heard of it yet, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show started this as a counter-point to Glen Beck's rally on Martin Luther King day.  I have to admit, I don't know what the point of Glen Beck's march (or Glen Beck himself, for that matter) was really supposed to be, but the Rally for Sanity started off as sort of a fun stunt and has spread GLOBALLY.  That's right--rallies against the stupidity of the last year are being held all over the world. 

I've never been to a rally, so this is going to be a new experience, and after all the stupidity of the last year, this is a rally I can support--even if it really is mostly just for fun.

We still need signs to carry, and these are my top ideas for signs:

*  If we all get to make up our own facts now, then chocolate won't make me fat!

* Logic--I promise it's worth a try

*  If you want me to take your political party seriously, don't involve Sarah Palin

*   Your yelling doesn't scare me
     That you believe Fox News, however, does

*  George H. W. Bush - implicated in Iran-Contra arms deal
   Jeb Bush - involved in 1990s Savings & Loan scandal
   George W. Bush - lied about WMD to start an illegal war
Sorry, why exactly would we be missing you?

*  Rush Limbaugh does it for the money.  What's your excuse?

*  Sorry, I must have missed it.  Where is it exactly that Jesus promoted hatred?

*  Your leader is a guy who cries all the time?  Who exactly was your second choice?

And great sign ideas I might borrow from others:

* My other rally is a book club

*  The only thing we have to fear is Fox News itself

* Don't worry about Communism.  I don't want to share my toys with you either.

* News channels should broadcast news occasionally.  

* Be sane for Canada! (Because nobody wants a crazy neighbor)
