Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear

I think the involvement of comedic celebrities such as John Stewart and Stephen Colbert in rallies and politics is very beneficial for bringing more political awareness to the American people about their government. The amount of attention that was raised by the "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" is proof that one way to get American citizens to listen up is to bring in high profile celebrities. Personally, I think that the open mocking of the Tea Party to be quite humorous and actually very truthful. One of the signs at the rally read "Stop Socialism - Boycott Public roads, bridges, air traffic control, public sewers, fire fighters, police," which refers to how taxes are what holds the American society together. The event as a whole sounds like it was very successful in generating a deeper awareness of current party politics.
