Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Call Their Fans to Washington DC on October 30

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are ready to battle for more than just Emmy awards and TV ratings. The mock-news anchors announced last week that they would hold dueling rallies in Washington D.C. next month.

Stewart invited his audience to the "Rally to Restore Sanity", which is for people "who have been too busy to go to rallies." The Daily Show gathering will be held on the National Mall where Stewart is hoping to draw a million moderates to "beg America to stop shouting, throwing and drawing Hitler mustaches on people other than Hitler (or Charlie Chaplin)."

Metro Tries to Be Funny

In attempts to get commuters to pay attention to things around them, the D.C. Metro has apparently tried to make up words to catch riders' attention. What? you ask. Yup. Five hundred buses and 90 subways carry signs with new made up words for things that already exist:

"Sumpnspicious," -- a play on the slang pronunciation of "something suspicious" -- is defined as "n. (noun) unattended package or odd, unusual behavior that is reported to a bus driver, train operator ... station manager or Metro Police."

or

"PlanBdextrous: ... adj. (adjective) able to plan an alternate route home in case Metro is inaccessible due to unforeseen circumstances."

We think it's kinda dumb. I mean, just say what you have to say. Cutesy phrases are sorta annoying. "See bag, call police" is just as effective. Any D.C. residents have opinions on this? As always, we'd love to hear 'em.
