The only thing worse than not having anything to do this weekend is having something to do and watching a Pawn Stars (guys!) or Real Housewives of Madison County (ladies!) marathon instead. So here is your stuff to do. Plus some videos from the comedians.

A Rally Good Time
The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Keep Fear Alive was a blast, even if it was more difficult to move around than Joan Rivers’ facial muscles. The National Mall was already packed by early Saturday morning, and anyone arriving after 11am couldn’t see the stage.
Despite the stated goal of curbing insanity, at the rally itself, there seemed to be plenty of sanity to go around. Aside from one small, very far-from-Kentucky group of Rand Paul supporters (who were laughing in spite of themselves), there were very few displays of partisan politics or discord. More than anything, it was just an extremely entertaining comedy event. And a way for Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert to prove that, stoners or not, their fans are more motivated than Glenn Beck’s. According to CBS, their rally drew 215,00 to Beck’s 78,000. And that alone is a great start on the road back to sanity. (Click through for videos & a transcript of Jon Stewart’s speech)
