Jon Stewart announced his much-awaited “big announcement” on Thursday’s edition of his late-night program, “The Daily Show.” He plans to stage a rally in Washington to counter what he identified as extremists on either side of the political spectrum.
Mr. Stewart told his audience the show had secured the National Mall on Oct. 30 for what he called “The Rally to Restore Sanity.

ReplyDeleteDid you catch Colbert's response? Looked like the same graphic designer designed both posters, for the two overlapping gatherings.
ReplyDeleteYeah, "the March to Keep Fear Alive".
ReplyDeleteI just added Colbert's clip.
ReplyDeleteI could easily see this as a well attended event.
ReplyDeleteOne, they are not nuts but, pretend to be.
Two, our history has a strong line of humor and sarcasm. The crazier the extremists get the harder we mock them.
Three, everyone wants a good show!
As to fear, from a comedic standpoint I'd say that is the truth. In a strange twist rational fear is what created the this country.
Eck!
