"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

Who among us has not wanted to open their window and shout that at the top of their lungs?

Seriously, who?

Because we're looking for those people. We're looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it's appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles.

Are you one of those people? Excellent. Then we'd like you to join us in Washington, DC on October 30 -- a date of no significance whatsoever -- at the Daily Show's "Rally to Restore Sanity." Ours is a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority. If we had to sum up the political view of our participants in a single sentence... we couldn't. That's sort of the point.

Think of our event as Woodstock, but with the nudity and drugs replaced by respectful disagreement; the Million Man March, only a lot smaller, and a bit less of a sausage fest; or the Gathering of the Juggalos, but instead of throwing our feces at Tila Tequila, we'll be actively *not* throwing our feces at Tila Tequila. Join us in the shadow of the Washington Monument. And bring your indoor voice. Or don't. If you'd rather stay home, go to work, or drive your kids to soccer practice... Actually, please come anyway. Ask the sitter if she can stay a few extra hours, just this once. We'll make it worth your while.

Watch Jon's call-to-reasonableness on The Daily Show.

Keep checking back for updates and rally information.

Nice. What's with the two rally type things by essentially the same peoples? Lol

Lol, yah i've been following this, it's been all over reddit and everywhere else. I think it's hilarious. It is pretty much a counter-rally inspired by Glenn Beck's march on washington thing earlier in the month. It's a spoof rally that Colbert and Stewart are doing to show how irrelivant rallies are. Kind of like a march on washington for no reason, but partially to piss off Glenn beck by getting larger numbers. I support it 100%!

All we need now is a Sharpton rally, called Rally to keep Welfare a'rollin', and it would attract a few billion.

In high school there was a teacher who went to the top of Skinner mountain (actual mountain is of no significance) once every week and shouted at the top of his lungs for 20 straight minutes. He thought it was a good way of relieving stress. I guess for him it worked 'cos he did it every week. It was good fun sitting down the slope a little ways, getting baked, and listening to his crazy rants.

Sounds more productive than anything in Washington. Hmm, sadly the highest point here is the top of the arch and the feds would probably arrest you for it.
