I just can not even express how much this makes me smile.

And I love the way Colbert opens with the famous quote from Network, which is all about manipulative television news reporting (and one of top 5 favorite films).

Brilliant!

Colbert's introduction to his march was brilliant. Stuck his head through a mini green screen, stuck on a tacky beard, and was superimposed onto the Lincoln Memorial.

My life will probably prohibit me from going, but I'd LOVE to.

We're trying to figure out how to go - we want to so badly! What a great idea!

Love the "Don't Click Here" buttons.

I love the "Keep the Fear Alive" theme! Too bad I'll be out of town that weekend.

i love it. But if they don't turn out a million people, Fox will herald it as a triumph of the right.

I am so tempted to go to DC for this. I love both of these men!

Joe, Fox won't even mention it, like they didn't mention the marriage equality rally (which brought out just as many people as the tea party crap).

I'm guessing there will be a lot fewer motorized scooters at these rallies. And a lot more PBR.

I think I read that O'Reilly and Stewart are trading guest sppearances on each other's shows...I'd imagine this topic will come up.

I'll be there!

If I go, I don't know if I want to 'attend' as a Stewart person or part of Colbert Nation. I'm much more of a Colbert fan, but I kind of want to carry a sign that says: "I disagree with you, but you're not Hitler". On the other hand, it might fun to be part of Colbert Nation, so I could carry a "We Don't Need No Department of Edjookashun" sign.

On Stewart's show last night, Arianna Huffington pledged that HuffPo would provide busses from NY to DC for anyone who wanted to attend. Details will follow, see link.

Ends up, I am going, by way of Ohio, and I have a Stewart shirt and a Colbert hat.

I know we have a hotel room in Alexandria, and will be taking public transportation to the rally with a couple of old friends.

That is as much as I know!

I'm going too

We're going too -- we have a room booked and are taking the Metro in. I'm letting Caitie take care of the details since she's lived in DC.

Very excited - it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day!
