In election's shadow, rally draws laughs, activism

WASHINGTON – In the shadow of the Capitol and the election, comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert entertained a huge throng Saturday at a "sanity" rally poking fun at the nation's ill-tempered politics, fear-mongers and doomsayers. "We live now in hard times," Stewart said after all the shtick. "Not end times." Part comedy show, part pep talk, the rally drew together tens of thousands stretched across an expanse of the National Mall, a festive congregation of the goofy and the politically disenchanted. People carried signs merrily protesting the existence of protest signs. Some dressed like bananas, wizards, Martians and Uncle Sam. Stewart, a satirist who makes his living skewering the famous, came to play nice. He decried the "extensive effort it takes to hate" and declared "we can have animus and not be enemies."................>>>>....................>>>>...................http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101030/ap_on_en_tv/us_stewart_colbert_rally
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
I like Stewart the best out of the two of them. We watch him all the time! He is hysterical!!
