These funny signs from the Rally to Restore Sanity at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. prove that while politics is a sensitive subject, there's plenty of room for humor. With captions like "What Would Optimus Prime Do?" and "I want more tortillas when I order fajitas at a restaurant," some pundits were all too happy to take advantage of the opportunity for viral fame.
