Fox News for Sanity... just kidding Everyone remembers Christine O'Donnell, right? I want you to engage in civil discourse :) People were seriously lovely that day ... for as many people as were there, for as crowded as it was ... people were very cool. A kissing booth... of course. The media was also well-critiqued in the signs I'm right. You're wrong. God said so. Financial Graphs at a Rally... Awesome "Balanced" often = bullshit. No kangaroo courts at Guantanamo Make love not tea Outsourcing is treason Facts are not decided by how many believe them. Truth is not determined by how loudly you shout... I LOVE this one!

Don't have to shout to be heard I will trade signs with you if we both like each others signs Come get mushroom stamped All of the particular cause signs were interesting -- beyond the occasion, people talking about what interested them.

If only everyone (liberals and conservatives) understood that! Sanity: Don't leave home without it Squirrel Repeating your point does not make your statement valid! Exterminate Health care is a right not a privilege These were just great signs. All of these folks were together, so I thought it made a very cool collection. Love the combination in one simple hat :) Hurry up, I've got shit to do. We're all in this together as if we thought that would really happen (but how awesome would it have been?)

Yeah, there's a few of her I like that :) What's not to love about the people who dressed up for the rally?

All we are saying is give peas a chance You can'ta foola me, there ain't no Santy Clause! In particular, I love the guy sucking down the cigarette :) Senator's Priorities I don't want my country back, I want my country forward than making Jesus a politician It all depends on who you hate Sometimes the irony wasn't in the sign, but the combination :) :) Could they be more awesome? http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/20/new-nasa-spacesuit-looks-an-awful-lot-like-buzz-lightyear/ http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/20/new-nasa-spacesuit-looks-an-awful-lot-like-buzz-lightyear/#comments Thu, 20 Dec 2012 12:18:27 +0000 Audra http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/20/new-nasa-spacesuit-looks-an-awful-lot-like-buzz-lightyear/ Continue reading »]]> http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/20/new-nasa-spacesuit-looks-an-awful-lot-like-buzz-lightyear/feed/ 2 roamingdogs http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/18/historical-trends-debunked/ http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/18/historical-trends-debunked/#comments Thu, 18 Oct 2012 04:15:13 +0000 Audra http://factsandotherfairytales.com/?p=73 ]]> http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/18/historical-trends-debunked/feed/ 0 roamingdogs http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/13/the-paradox-of-dogs/ http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/13/the-paradox-of-dogs/#comments Sat, 13 Oct 2012 20:11:47 +0000 Audra http://factsandotherfairytales.com/?p=67 ]]> http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/13/the-paradox-of-dogs/feed/ 1 roamingdogs http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/13/tolerance-in-the-us-sure-if-youre-white-straight-and-christian/ http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/13/tolerance-in-the-us-sure-if-youre-white-straight-and-christian/#comments Sat, 13 Oct 2012 19:31:26 +0000 Audra http://factsandotherfairytales.com/?p=58 Continue reading »]]> http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/13/tolerance-in-the-us-sure-if-youre-white-straight-and-christian/feed/ 0 roamingdogs RacistGOP AthiestsVsChristianCharity http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/04/take-it-down-a-notch-seriously/ http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/04/take-it-down-a-notch-seriously/#comments Thu, 04 Oct 2012 21:49:45 +0000 Audra http://factsandotherfairytales.com/?p=24 Continue reading »]]> http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/10/04/take-it-down-a-notch-seriously/feed/ 0 roamingdogs Losing Our Minds
