Rally to Restore Sanity

Jon Stewart is hosting what he calls the Rally to Restore Sanity on the Washington Mall on October 30th, which he notes is a date of 'no significance whatsoever'. 

Obviously, this is being organized to marginalize Glen Beck's recent theocratic revival road show, the Rally to Restore Honor (because honor only belongs to a certain cross section of the population; it's a proprietary thing don't ya know).

One rally sign suggested that I thought was funny:  'I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler'.

The 'Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A.' will be hosting an event on the Mall at the same time, the March to Keep Fear Alive. 

According to Colbert's site:

America, the Greatest Country God ever gave Man, was built on three bedrock principles: Freedom. Liberty. And Fear -- that someone might take our Freedom and Liberty. But now, there are dark, optimistic forces trying to take away our Fear -- forces with salt and pepper hair and way more Emmys than they need. They want to replace our Fear with reason. But never forget -- "Reason" is just one letter away from "Treason." Coincidence? Reasonable people would say it is, but America can't afford to take that chance.
