Rally To Restore Sanity's Roots: A Search For Calm From Day One:
"While the upcoming Rally To Restore Sanity, and its opposing March To Keep Fear Alive, marks an exciting high point in the lives of 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report', respectively, the combined event can best be seen as something that deepens and extends a challenge that the two shows have long sought to meet -- that a debased and frantic public discourse needs to be confronted head-on by the cool reason of rational minds.
Comedy, which harvests laughs by juxtaposing the life we're left with against the ideal, is a genre that loves reason above all else, and the two hosts have plowed the field carefully."

In 2030 I will be 82. Believe me, kid, 62 is not golden. Get your kicks before you're 66. A friend writes on Facebook a lot about political matters, and agrees with me on most things. He recently wrote: "Vote your conscience, not your fears.", meaning vote for the best candidate, not the lesser evil of two Republicrats. Yeah!
A spry 82 I'm sure. What is 62, then? Rust?
