sanity now

Election morning after was one hell of a walk of shame. Let's forget it and rewind to the blur of this weekend.

I went to DC with a rag-tag crew of Midwestern travelers for the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. It was wonderful. The Roots, John Legend, Sam Waterson, Yusuf (aka Cat), Ozzy, The O'Jays and their sparkly white suit coats, Mavis Staples, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, R2D2.

I just wish there would have been more sanity in John Stewart's moment of sincerity, or rather, that the sanity would have hit home. How many people in the crowd voted? Was this or was this not just a star studded entertainment explosion in the heart of American Democracy?
