Rally To Restore Sanity and (not) Fear Worked for Me!

I have to say I was pretty excited Saturday watching the telecast on Comedy Central for Jon Stewart's Rally. And I was wowed by the size of the crowd and glad that somewhere Glenn Beck is crying. I thought Kid Rock did so-so and Sheryl Crow - whom I really do like normally - didn't know the song. And that Bruce Springsteen should have been there instead. Or Prince. Or Styx, or anybody but Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. But the bit with Yusuf and Ozzy - pretty funny. And wowed again by the O Jays. Yes, the Love Train is one we all can ride. PK Winsome's bit was tragically long and unfunny. The Mythbusters made great points.  And Sam Waterston RULED. And Tony Bennett was beautifully in fine form.

But it was all a 3 hour warm up for speech by Jon Stewart that achieved its purpose. I could have listened to Jon talk all afternoon. He is just so - so - reasonable. Funny, yes, but more than that, he does speak for more Americans right now. The silent majority isn't really silent you know, they are just being shouted down by the crazies. Thank you, Jon Stewart. Keep up the good work.

P.S.  - I'm going to vote tomorrow. I haven't found that my lefty vote really matters here in Dallas TX. But I occasionally vote for a republican that makes sense. But in the governor's race here - Mr. Perry needs to take a hike. I'm just not sure about that other guy.
