Like all other "Rally's on Washington"; today's Rally - the day before Halloween "to restore sanity"- was hard making "A Head-Count"!
There were 400 Clowns, 99 Pirates & 1,000 Christine Witches...that's 399 more Clowns than at "The Glenn Beck Rally"!
Even old time Movie Actress Claudette Colbert's ghost was seen running through the Reflecting Pool. Oops sorry; it was Stephen Colbert in Spandex!
Blending laughs & political activism is not a new combination - remember the 2008 Republican Nominees?
Everybody knows; the most important part of a Rally is "Head-Count" & whether there is enough Relish!
Not having enough relish for hot dogs can make or break the event - and actually cause participants to write New Signs!
And it's not pretty...I've seen Hitler Mustaches on a Pickle!
It's common knowledge that the "approximate" Scientific Head-Count is ascertained by "The next-day's Clean-up Crew"!
And, they have a good memory; so there was No Tea served this time - last event they had a shortage of "Port-A-Potties"!
Some of the Signs the crowd carried were:
"HE'S BLACK, GET OVER IT"! &
"We The People" NOT "We The Corporations"!
And my Sign: "INSANITY SKIPS A GENERATION -
Find Grandpa Newt"!
Some came as far as Baltimore - no sorry; 1 came from Wasilla!
Since it was Halloween; her Psychiatrist tricked her into going...she didn't know it was going to be
"The Intervention on the Mall"!
Since Sarah Palin would never go on "The Daily Show" - even to sell her Book, "I READ IT and I WROTE IT"; when she looked up at the Podium & saw Jon Stewart & Company, she thought, "He's making sense"!
And yelled: "I JUST HAD AN EPIPHANY"!
"Well folks; that's when I woke up & promised myself not to have any more "Mooseburgers with Everything"!
