Return of the Stargazer

So, I had said that I was going to post more often. That was about a month ago. Yes, I am well aware I am a failure at trying to keep up with this blog, however, I actually am going to keep up better now. I now have a new cord for my laptop, as well as a wireless router (which altogether set me back like a hundred dollars -_-;;). That means I will have access to my laptop daily and will be able to get up a couple of posts a week at the least. For the few of you who actually follow this blog, that should make you somewhat happy. I find that my will to write is slowly returning and I have some new ideas for short stories that I plan on posting for comments. Perhaps even a poem or two might make it in. For now however, I have a topic that I wish to discuss.

Now, as you may, or may not, know, both Stephen Colbert (of the Colbert Report) and Jon Stewart (of the Daily Show) are hosting rallies next month in Washington, DC. You may have heard of the rally that Glenn Beck had recently, which is the reason for these two new ones. Stephen Colbert has titled his The March to Keep Fear Alive, while Jon Stewart has gone with The Rally to Restore Sanity. I wonder what everyone thinks of what they are doing. If you did not catch any coverage from Glenn Beck's rally, I highly recommend that you do a quick YouTube search. If you think that perhaps these rallies that Jon and Stephen are hosting are to make fun of Beck's rally, you would be correct I think. From the little I did catch of Beck's, it was a complete and utter joke. At one point during the rally, a flock of geese flew over the Reflection Pool and Glen said, and I quote:

“I want to show you first that miracle that happened at 10:59. There are several versions of this, or at 9:59. There are several versions of what was happening. Do we have the videotape? At 9:59, what happened was there was a flock of geese. It was a flyover if you will. Somebody caught it on tape. Here’s the flyover. This was happening just as the opening music was starting. We wanted to have a flyover, but you can’t flyover in the District of Columbia. It was perfect coordination and perfect timing. Coincidence? Maybe? I think it was God’s flyover. It was not supposed to happen. We couldn’t get a flyover. We couldn’t even get anybody dressed in a military uniform to present the flag. We tried for almost a year. We couldn’t get it done. Thank God, we had our flyover.” -Courtesy of http://www.politicususa.com

If I may be so bold, Glenn Beck is a bit of a self-important idiot. In my opinion, he deserves to have himself made fun of. End of story. However, I am interested in what everyone else thinks. I bid thee farewell for now.
