Quote of the Week

In honor of Election Day, this week's Quote of the Week comes directly from a political rally... sort of. It's from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" this past weekend, and it's pretty clever. Courtesy of NPR, the quote is from a sign held by one of the rally's attendees.

This week's QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"Hyperbole is destroying America" -Jen Malek, Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear attendee

This quote is fantastic, in a "The following statement is true; the preceding statement was false" kind of way. You might like Stewart and Colbert, you might not, you might think they're more politically inclined than they'd admit, you may just think they're funny guys, but either way, they're clever, and they attract other clever people.

There's a gallery of other signs from the rally here, and some of them are hysterical (although a lot of them sorta suck). And no, I'm not a partisan hack trying to hide my true colors, I just like good satire. But you knew that already.
