Take it down a notch -- for America

John Stewart is holding a rally in Washington DC for all the people who are not insane, don't compare everyone to Hitler, believe 9.11 was an "outside Job", and are basically sick of the histrionics. He's going to have ready-made signs like, "I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler" I want to go so bad I might eat my hat.

I would LOVE to go to this! John Stewart is one of my favorite people (along with Colbert).

I hope this is real and not just a way of poking fun at Glenn Beck's laughable rally a couple weeks ago.

No, it's real. Stephen Colbert is doing a counter rally "March to keep fear alive"

Ah. So these were the dueling announcements they've been going on about for the last week or so. Heheh. Excellent.

Yeah, I am going to try and figure out if I can go. It's a really slim chance I can get people to road trip with me.

I think John Stewart is misguided.

That blows. We live close enough to each other that we could road trip it, but I can't remember the last time I had more than a day to myself to do something like that. Sad

Why would any comedian want to do away with these nuts? They are money in the bank for him?

I'm disappointed in two things:

1. Jon's false equivocation with the left and right. Bush is a war criminal. It's not shrill to say so. His Iraq war was clearly a war of aggression.

2. Steven should have named his march "restoring truthiness to America". Wink

That said, I'm going to make every effort to go.
