My 70-year old mother called me up and said she wants to go! :eek: My mother who shuns crowds and doesn’t like to meet strangers…she just thinks it’s that important.
I’m probably not going to be able to make it (I’d really love to be there though) so here’s the idea I had: make a life-size cardboard cutout of myself holding a sign and send it to someone who is actually going to the rally so they can take it with them.
For the Jon Stewart rally, my cardboard cutout would have a sign saying “Not irate enough to be here in person!”
For the Stephen Colbert rally, the sign would say “Too afraid to be here in person!”
For those of y’all that are in the Northeast near an Amtrak station, you can take an overnight train Friday and get in Saturday morning, and leave the same way. The train trip is about as fast as driving too. That gives a solid day in DC without having to pay for hotels or gas, and a round trip ticket from Boston costs around $130.
That’s just wonderful to hear, and I’m sure Stewart and Colbert would get a big grin hearing it too. I hope you’re taking her. The most important thing in my 72-year-old mother’s life is knowing where her cigarettes are.
