Today, one of the most amazing political rallies in America took place in the National Mall in Washington D.C. The “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” took place.  This, of course, was the hugely successful political rally that comedy talk show hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert hosted. Jon Stewart held the rally to restore sanity to America, while Colbert sarcastically held it to restore fear. The rally boasted such celebrities as Cat Stevens, Ozzy Osborne, Mavis Staples, Jeff Tweedy,  the O-Jays, John Legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sheryl Crow, the Roots and many more (including a giant puppet of Colbert). There were supposedly 250, 000 people in attendance. The crowd of people stretched from the Capitol Building to the National Monument.

The rally was supposed to be funny, but had very strong political themes. Stewart and Colbert debated one of the largest issues in America, the media. Stewart argued that the media sends too many messages of fear, while Colbert sarcastically made fun of him. The highlight of the rally was when the never-seen Cat Stevens got into a musical argument with Ozzy Ozborne. In all, the rally was a huge success, and hopefully it restored sanity to many.
