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.
Pray for rain..
Lame.
>>>Pray for rain..
Unprecedented cold & snow would be even better.
No Rosie? No Joy Baywhore? And what time is the traditional left wing flag burning scheduled?
How about pray for really, really good drugs. Then they won't make it home in time to vote.
Sounds pretty dull to me.
Stewart's complaint is that Hussein needs to be even more of a Bolshevik.
I am on my way to Washington with my Hitler signs
Yeah, but WHICH national anthem?
We shouldn’t only because the Marine Corps Marathon is being held in DC that day.
21 seconds...
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.”
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).
1:00 pm-Show kicks off the “the International” anthem.With Musical guest performing...There I fixed it..
I was thinking about a “single sheet” rule and maybe an attack of diarrhea before I read your post ;-)
