Seems like a lot of effort fighting your way into DC for not much content. Oh boy a comedian and music artists no one cares about now. Just helping Stewart’s ego i guess.

How about pray for really, really good drugs. Then they won't make it home in time to vote.

"Obama noted and re-noted the "historic" legislative change of health-care reform and financial regulation, and Stewart suggested and re-suggested that perhaps those actions didn't go far enough to transform the stagnant structure of Washington."

Stewart's complaint is that Hussein needs to be even more of a Bolshevik.

The question is, the national anthem for what country?

We shouldn’t only because the Marine Corps Marathon is being held in DC that day.

Restore The Sanity?

Sheryl Crow: “I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares [sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who’s judgement [sic] I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, “how bout just washing the one square out.”

Jon Stewart Rally: Tentative Schedule Leaks

From what I've read about the Port-A-Potty situation, that's the only kind of leak that's allowed...

It’s this Saturday, right? Current local forecast is clear but cool — should actually be decent weather for the afternoon, but those arriving early are likely to be well over-dressed for the afternoon temperatures (or way too cold int he morning).

I was thinking about a “single sheet” rule and maybe an attack of diarrhea before I read your post ;-)
