If you were outside enjoying the fall weather this weekend, and
not holed up in your home watching Comedy Central, you might have
missed the airing of the "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear," hosted
by the cable channel's fake newscasters/real pundits Jon Stewart and
Stephen Colbert (there was, however, plenty of media coverage.) While the actual
rally was on the National Mall in D.C., many cities held satellite
rallies of their own, including Los Angeles.
In
Seattle: This sign was one of the
"10 Best Signs" spotted by Mohini Patel Glanz, a photographer
for
Seattle Weekly.
In
Los Angeles, the satellite event for John Stewart's Rally to
Restore Sanity took place Saturday at MacArthur Park's Levitt
Pavilion. Photo by Ted Soqui for
LA Weekly. And yes, it is
one of the best signs ever.
In
Dallas, the sanity/fear truck showed up at the rally at Lee
Harvey's, as proved in these photos by Stephen Masker for the
Dallas Observer.
Pete
Vonder Haar, who writes for our sister paper, the
Houston Press, brings back
this recap and photos from the D.C. rally.
Keegan
Hamilton, a staff writer for the
Riverfront Times in St. Louis, also was in D.C. for the
rally, and he spotted more than a few signs -- here are his
"5 hilarious signs" picks.
New
York's
Village Voice was among the throngs of people at the
rally and has published
these photos from D.C.
Finally,
nice move by the
Miami New Times, which
asked a comedian to cover a rally put on by comedians. No NPR-
ish analysis here, just laughs. Miami comic
Daniel Reskin brings back this report for the
New Times.
