Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally was this Saturday and since my daughter was in town visiting we headed down to check out the festivities. It was a gorgeous day and the evil Summer weather here that tries to kill you has broken. I really wasn't that interested in listening to speeches about a concept I have a pretty solid understanding of, so we waited a while to join the crowd. I watched Sarah Palin and as always I loved her and think she is the perfect example of the best parts of America. I wish she could be President, but I just don't see how it could happen. We need a new position of National Hockey Mom w/ "Well that's a stupid idea" veto power. We were actually fairly close to the stage by the time Beck came on and I would say that he was quite good and the crowd was enjoying him, but he is not quite a rabble rousing speaker. He is better as the character he plays on TV. Don't believe any crowd estimate of under 250k, it was full from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument and side to side which is pretty wide. And of course we were sporting dueling Unapologetically American shirts from Ranger Up.
