The Rally to Restore Sanity and or Fear was a collection of educated, self consciously ironic, snarky left of center or politically apathetic individuals most of whom- I would learn- had never been to a rally or protest of any kind.
So what was this?
A reaction against reactionaries?
A protest against protests?
Was this the largest collection of Slacktivist ever assembled in one place?
Or was it possible that Stewart and Colbert had succeeded in creating a kind of gateway drug- a slippery slope into a life engagement with politics?

Oprah is famous for giving her audience surprise gifts, but Thursday night she extended that generosity to Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" audience as well.
Oprah appeared via satellite on "The Daily Show" to lend her support for Stewart's upcoming "Rally to Restore Sanity" in Washington, DC.
"I think that we need a little bit more sanity in the world," Oprah said. "I wanted to show my support for you, Jon, and also for your audience. So here's what I did: I had my staff sneak into your studio early this morning with a little gift."
Audience members were then told to look under their seats, where they found red envelopes featuring tickets to Stewart's rally.
"You're going to the rally! You're going to the rally! You're going to the rally! Everybody's going to the rally!" Oprah exclaimed. "Now get out there and restore some sanity!"

Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert will march together on Washington.
Or against each other in Washington.
Either way, expect plenty of Comedy Central fans to show up on October 30 when Stewart's "Rally To Restore Sanity" will meet Colbert's "March To Keep Fear Alive" in the nation's capital.
The duo have been hinting at a major announcement for several episodes in a mock response to Glenn Beck's own "Restoring Honor" rally that was held this year on the anniversary of a famous Martin Luther King speech at the same monument. There's no indication that the announced get-together is a joke, though. Both comedians are telling their audiences to book hotel rooms now (though for different reasons, as you'll see).
"It'll be like being in a chat room," Stewart explained. "But real."
Stewart punctuated his announcement on the earlier program with a homemade-looking banner reading, "Take It Down A Notch For America."
Colbert followed up with an announcement on his own show, and insisted that he would "notch it up a scotch."
