Effect of the Stewart "Restoring Sanity" Rally?

Has the world become a better place since the "Restoring Sanity" Rally?

...who beat Beckkk in numbers - beyond that, I'm not sure what it was supposed to do.

is very welcomed.

A huge live version of their shows.

I thoroughly enjoyed it on TV and wish I coulda been there live.

That's pretty much all I was expecting.

and I am happy I went.

show? Is that the standard for success these days, change the world with jokes in under a week?

"...I love Jon Stewart as much as anyone else in my demographic, but the rally hit at least three wrong notes. First, ridiculing fear. Yes, of course, Fox and friends hype the threat from terrorists, illegal immigrants, Christmas haters etc. But one reason they do so successfully is that there are quite rational reasons, in America today, to be scared out of your wits."

"Second, the fake bipartisanship. In his montage of media silliness, Stewart made a point of counterbalancing idiotic Fox clips with idiotic MSNBC ones."

"Finally, the focus on “sanity.” Talk about condescending. The Tea Party types who believe that expanding government undermines their freedom are not insane. They’re tapping into a deeply-rooted American fear of government power, one that would be immediately recognizable to Calvin Coolidge or Strom Thurmond."
