Jon 'n' Stephen

I momentarily wished I could be in Washington on October 30 for the dueling rallies of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Then I remembered my one trip to Washington a few years ago and the hassle of booking a hotel room even when they didn't have a mob-attracting event like this one. I also figured that you'd probably have to camp out the day before (at least) to get within 500 furlongs of anything you really wanted to see, whereas there will probably be plenty of TV coverage. So here I will stay. Weather permitting, I'll bet they get a huge turnout…and I assume whatever it is, Colbert (at least) will swear it's ten times reality.

In case you missed the details and the announcements, they're over on this page. And many other places, too.
