Comedian rally gets laughs

This past weekend on October 30th at the National Mall in Washington D.C., popular television anchors Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart held their satirical rally dubbed "Rally To Restore Sanity and or Fear."

Of course, it can easily be inferred that the rally would be a good time, filled with hilarious speeches from both Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, because the name of the rally and the people behind it. The rally also boasted several big name guest appearances, such as Yusef Islam (also known as Cat Stevens), Sheryl Crowe, and Ozzy Osbourne to help make this rally a blast for everyone involved.

However, as much fun as this rally sounds both Stephen and Jon still did try to make a valid  point. In between all their jokes they said that although it is true we are in difficult times, it is important that people come together to get through this tough time and not get hung up on whether or not someone is a Democrat or Republican, since in the end we are all in the same boat.
