from "The Note" (ABC news listserv):
SANITY WEEKEND. Thousands are expected to descend on the National Mall in Washington today to take part in "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" -- the brain child of Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. But as the AP's Hope Yen writes, "their fans just aren't certain what to expect." More from the preview of today's festivities: "A preliminary list of entertainers included musicians Sheryl Crow and The Roots. Actor Sam Waterston and Don Novello, who years ago played Father Guido Sarducci on Saturday Night Live, were also expected to appear. The rally has generated extensive buzz on the Internet, with more than 226,000 people on a Facebook page created for the event saying they would attend. The liberal Huffington Post was sending a caravan of 10,000 people on 200 buses from New York, while Oprah Winfrey expressed her support by providing travel expenses to a Daily Show studio audience of about 200 members so that they could attend."
