Due to massive A/V deficiencies, we still have no idea what happened onstage. But we met some great people and saw some crazy good signs. If you'll indulge, gentle reader, a little comic relief from the usual TheCenterline.org sobriety...
Top 10 Signs at the Rally for Sanity:
10. "Magic Powers Are Not A Choice - Equal Rights For Wizards"
9. "Anyone For Scrabble Later?"
8. "25, Single, Not In Tea Party, Don't Live W/My Mother, Won't Go 'Dutch' On Dates"
7. "Save Ferris" [I know-this rally skewed older than you think]
6. "The Rant Is Too Damn High" [I know-this rally skewed way New York]
5. "They Confiscated This Sign At The Airport [1/3 of every UN meeting I've been to is devoted to a variation on this complaint)
4. "Speak Softly And Don't Be A Big Dick" [next to picture of TR]
3. "Moderates R Sexy"
2. "I Masturbate, And I Vote" [hey, Delaware is practically next door]
And the self-servingly #1 sign carried indefatigably by Kelly Macmanus Funke (no relation of course) is:
"Fear The Center"
To be clear, you should NOT fear the following:
Porta-Potties crunkling under the weight of Stewart/Colbert enthusiasts dying for a view...
...tree-huggers of the purest sort, angling to improve on the Porta-Vus...
...giant Ahmadinejad puppets who are, quote, "Gay For America"...
...Lord Vader, who after all only seeks "to restore order to the galaxy"...
...tear gas attacks, provided you are appropriately garbed...
...certainly not apple-faced Secret Muslims...
...much less the Nth generation of Tom Lehrer's "Folk Song Army."
No no no no no...fear none of these. But after one more Congress of ever-increasing extremism, as reform promises fade and debt gets debtier and debtier, you should absolutely, positively....
