Losing My Mind at Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity
It’s the eve of Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity, and I’m on the ground in Washington DC. While their latest Twitter post euphorically proclaims that there will be porta-potties at the event so that we can all use them, I seriously hope that I laugh until I pee my pants in public.
Lest anyone think I’m already insane for traipsing across the country attending political rallies, let me set the record straight. I’ve been in DC for two days for a totally unrelated event. Someone has to go to our museums and look at the projects that are happening on practically every street corner in DC with our stimulus dollars. Might as well be moi.
While nobody voted for me, I’m here to represent YOU and your interests back home. During my visit, I will focus on the issues and bring them to you in post-by-post updates directly from the rally. I hope my contributions will help working families, grow the economy, put children first, and reach across party lines to reform government in a grand gesture that will serve the American people.
I promise that I will inhale. All of it. Just for you.
Thank goodness we finally will have responsible representation in D.C. Your fearlessness will never be forgotten and I want wine in every home and a chicken in every pot….oh, wait a minute, got off track there a bit.
I would definitely vote for you over almost any other quack running and supposedly representing our collective interests.
Have a fabuloso time and get our dredging earmark done, huh!!!
Lou, I would be the very last person on the face of the earth to be electable for office because I simply cannot play politics. My mouth gets in the way.
However, I like your demands, and I will see what I can do.
Jealous! I’m so jealous.
I would love to attend, but I have to work tomorrow. And I have a Halloween party to attend tomorrow night. And I live 2,000 miles away from DC (roughly). And I’m kind of broke.
Other than that, I’m all over it.
Steve, *maybe* you should attend a meet up in your area. They have them all listed at http://www.meetup.com/rally4sanityandmarch4fear/.
If you say maybe you will go, I won’t think less of you.
And, I’m really going to spank myself if I was just in Arizona and did not reach out and say hello. I was in Scottsdale for a conference. My husband’s best friend just moved to Tucson, so we will be back in the coming months. I noted your lyrical post on Tucson, though I’m not entirely sure how close you are.
Enjoy your Halloween party.
Thanks!
Well, I’m in the Tempe area, and there looks to be a bunch of meet ups around here, so maybe I will. maybe.
(Honestly, I’ll likely go straight home from work and start getting ready for the party.)
Well, have a good time at the party. At least you know that will be a good time, whereas the meetups may not.
MTM and I hiked in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve on Tuesday. We hiked up Squaw Peak. I’m still sore. You live in a lovely part of the world.
Say Hi to my sister-in-law Caroline if you run into her. She is a tall well-dressed brunette. I’m sure you’ll have no problem spotting her on the National Mall.
If you give her my digits or email, I’m sure we can make that happen.
Though, I will warn her that I may be doing stupid things to get attention.
Headline….dot da da dot da da dot….South Carolina blogger uses French word in post, disqualifies self from ever holding public office.
Using French words is the least of the reasons why I could not hold public office.
French words are the least of it…the evidence is that you harbor French sympathies…croissant chocolat, baguettes with brie, la graisse de canard frites françaises (duck fat french fries) would be the undoing of any SC political hopeful. Tu perte!
You forgot chocolat chaud. And fromage morbier. And Veuve Cliquot. And egg cups (I’ve exhausted my French.)
