The wordiness makes it great. I see it printed in heavy American Typewriter, black on white, on a tall sign so the sentence runs several lines, makes it look like a paragraph. 😛 Write “I am” to start. ---

> [@descamisado](#): > > **kimera** , I’m not on Facebook; can you PM me the New York City information? better yet - is there a way to get these various local rallies’ logistics accessible in a simple-to-read format (I don’t want to follow long threads - well, other than here! ;)) outside of Facebook? Thanks for any help - I am seriously looking at the NYC rally and my 12-year-old son wants to go, too! ---

Looking at different sites I still see some oout there that think this is a bash the Tea Party rally. It isn’t. [Here’s a great post](http://jonstewartsanityrally.com/take-it-down-a-notch-liberals/) going around about the theme. And here’s an[interesting clip from the Daily Show in 2005](http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-april-13-2005/john-p--avlon?xrs=share_fb) speaking of the same theme. I guess we were waiting for the right person to invite us to speak up. ---

Friggin’ hell. I think I managed to talk myself into going. I can book airfare and a hotel near Dulles for a reasonable price, and this is something I just don’t want to miss. ---
