Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert held their joint Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear today in Washington.
As they promised, it wasn't political at all, it was basically an extended combined version of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report," with Stewart and Colbert comically debating the virtues of reasonableness versus fear. Plus a bunch of special guests and a great speech on tolerance by Stewart at the end. If anyone got the sharp end of the Stewart/Colbert stick, it was the media -- mostly the 24-hour cable news media (and no, it wasn't just Fox News getting criticism).
The rally was at times boring and tedious (thanks for nothing, "Mythbusters" guys) but often really entertaining (check out the photo gallery).
I'm not writing a traditional recap, but I did live-tweet the rally (@WarmTV) and I've pasted my tweets and retweets below. (UPDATED: Clips from the rally have been posted at Comedy Central).
The rally opened at noon with The Roots and John Legend performing, and I started tweeting right after that. Here's what happened:


If you're not traveling up to D.C. this weekend to help restore sanity and/or fear in person, you can still keep up with goings on via television.
