Jon Stewart will host a rally in Washington DC!

I'm in college and I don't pay for Cable and of course not for Satellite. I have a decent internet connection and get all my TV, Movies, etc through web services. Who's in the same boat?

For the non geeks: 101010 in binary is 42.

The answer to life, the universe, and everything

Edit: I'm sure Colbert is a big fan of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... Let's get this fact upvoted so he knows.

Edit: If this makes it to the front page, I will get a tat with 101010 on my arm.

EDIT: IT MADE IT TO THE FRONT PAGE! THANK YOU! I WILL GET THIS TAT WITHIN THE WEEK AND REPOST IT BACK! (also getting another one with a spinal tap reference)

Edit: We are at 42 upvotes. Just sayin'

Edit: OK! I'm planning to get this done tomorrow!! <Deep breath>

I know I am. I feel this is, or should be, bigger than the US of A. The right wing crazies are not just a threat for reasonable America, but for everyone. Besides that, I see similar things happening everywhere: a growing trend of fear-mongering and anti-intellectualism where opinions are equal to or better than the cold facts.

What the world needs is a new age of enlightenment. Not necessarily an atheistic or anti-religious era, but one that is adamant about the seperation between church and state, stands by the scientific method and aims to base all policies on honest facts, though they may be guided by a morality that is considered selfevident.

Restoring Truthiness is not the start of such an era, but the reasonable and intelligent people of the world need to be more vocal and better organised. The Colbert Rally may play a big part in just that.

So, hear this message from the rest of the world: America, Fuck Yeah!

edit: I'm from the Netherlands myself.
