Top Ten Rumors about the Rally to Restore Sanity/March to Keep Fear Alive
Despite the helpful FAQ page that Comedy Central posted on its web site, most folks, including those of us from the Phoenix who are heading to Washington, are confused about exactly what might go down at Saturday's Rally to Restore Sanity/March to Keep Fear Alive. Will Bon Jovi be there? How about Gallagher? Will it be funnier than Glenn Beck's recent carnival and the militia rally we hit a few months ago? Who knows? Perhaps it's just an opportunity to prove that Comedy Central viewers make better signs than their Fox counterparts. Here are some potential highlights that we've heard about/dreamed up around the office. Please feel free to add more below, and be sure to check ThePhoenix.com this weekend for crowd coverage and recaps.
