I Couldn't Go to D.C. So I Went to MacArthur Park

Love him or hate him, Jon Stewart is a genius. Jane Cross and I were going to go to D.C. to the Rally to Restore Sanity.  It didn't work out.

Los Angeles was one of the cities to hold a satellite event.  I wasn't sure I could get near enough to find parking.  There was plenty, so I popped in for half an hour.

There was not a huge crowd, but it was diverse, and the mood was certainly elevated.  I am sure we could have done without the guy running by dressed as a marijuana leaf.

Looks like fun to me.  I saw a glimpse of the crowd on the mall and I think there were lots and lots of people.  Can't wait to see pics of many of the signs!

Jane - I just read something about the event in D.C. and how it was going. It apparently was a huge turnout in D.C.

Donne, it was.  I recorded it to find out that it recorded 100 episodes of Scrubs :(

Lori,  I would have had more fun if I could have watched it on TV after :(

I wish I could have been in DC for the rally. the Daily Show is one of my favorite must see programs.

Now about thay guy dressed as a marijuana leaf... I'm thinking with prop 19 looming on your ballots, he was trying to make a statement

Craig,  I see you follow our politics.  Did you see the rally on the TV?  For some reason it wasn't broadcast here.

I thought John Stewart's speech at the end was brilliant. Whether you're a Teabagger who thinks liberals are destroying the country or a liberal who thinks teabaggers are racist, you need to listen to it. Now turn off your televisions and go DOVETAIL!

Cece,  thank you so much.  I just watched it.  What an amazing speech and what an incredibly brilliant guy he is.

Jane, you probably saw more of the rally than I did, and I was there.  Well, sort of.  I couldn't get close enough to hear more than the National Anthem!  It was great!

Posted by Patricia Kennedy (Evers & Company Realtors) over 1 year ago

Pat,  I left after half an hour because I thought I would see it on T.V.  I had recorded.  I was shocked when I found there was a glitch.  I hope they re broadcast it.  I just watched Cece's link.  What a fabulous speech.

Jane, I know there is a joke in there somewhere...low turn out in LA for Rally to Restore Sanity....  I loved seeing all the signs in DC, now I'm off to follow Cece's link.

Mary,  that was a phenomenal speech of his.  Hope you enjoy it.

Jane, I make it 1/2 way through the video and then the little circle keeps going.. I'm hoping it will stop streaming and start playing again.  So far, I agree, it's good.

Posted by Mary Douglas, REALTOR ®, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado (United Country Ponderosa Realty) over 1 year ago

Mary, thanks for letting me know.  I would like to see the whole event, since I missed it.
