Worthwhile Cause of the Day: In the wee hours of August 31st, Redditor mrsammercer sat down at his computer and regaled the net with his middle-of-the-night, Wayne’s World 2-style epiphany: To hold a satirical DC rally — an absurd countervail to Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” event — to be spearheaded by Stephen Colbert:
Think about it. It’ll be just like Colbert’s mockery of GW Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondent’s Dinner, but 500,000 people will be able to participate with him. We’ll all stay totally in character as teabaggers. The kid with the microphone that interviews all the idiots at these things can come by and we’ll ramble into his microphone.
This would be the high water mark of American satire. Half a million people pretending to suspend all rational thought in unison. Perfect harmony. It’ll feel like San Francisco in the late 60s, only we won’t be able to get any acid.
Meanwhile, the movement has been steadily gaining ground. A website has been set up to help rally support for the “Restoring Truthiness” cause. The Comedy Central Insider blog even mentioned it, albiet matter-of-factly.
Will this vision come to pass? It is too early to tell. In the meantime, mrsammercer’s plea continues to echo through the cyberhalls: “I know you’re out there somewhere, Stephen, watching LOLcat gifs along side us. We need you.”

upscale food court swagger
Earlier this month when I was jammin Anamanaguchi’s remix of Das Racist’s Rainbow In The Dark I got this picture in my head: scraggly high school kid, discman in backpack, window-shopping from store to store, scoping out spots outside the entrances to smoke Newports without security finding him, lifting band patches from Spencer Gifts; trying to be a badass at the least cool of all the cool hangouts; THE MALL.
The rest of the tracks fit into what I thought would accompany to a day in his life. (Imagine a soundtrack to a montage of scenes.)
So queue up Winamp to export a playlist, put it on your MP3 storage device, and re-wrap those over-the-ear headphones with a fresh roll of electrical tape. It’s time to saunter.
