Coverage of the Rally starts at 12:00 EDT (11:00 AM CDT) on Comedy Central. Don’t know if the cable news networks will cover it, but I thought it might be worthwhile to have a live thread going for comments as it goes on. Less than an hour now.
I don’t have cable but I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread.
You don’t need cable. They’re also covering it online.

Looks like they’re starting a little early on the online stream.
How long 'til we get a full crowd shot?
Looks like it may be a decent crowd.
I’m leaving the house in a few minutes to go, but traffic was heavier on 395 and I’ve seen groups of people walking with signs in the direction of the mall. I’m expecting a decent crowd.
A modern Black group with a tuba? I am so out of the popular music scene.
I have to go out pretty soon. Got a family thing to go to.
I can’t even hear the tuba.
The Roots are rockin!
No cable and dial-up internet.
I’m such a loser.
Seems to be a sousaphone. (Maybe that’s why?)
That doesn’t make you a loser.
Wow, I am not a fan of The Roots.
It’s just noise to me.
Anyone else having trouble with the live-streaming coverage? I can’t get connected to it on either cnn or comedy central.
Yeah I think it is a sousaphone. Still can’t hear it. That might be my TV. I just have a little portable in my office where my computer is. It probably doesn’t have any decent bass. I’ll try the online stream, I think my computer actually has better sound.
Sounds pretty progressive for a river hippie. 
Yes, the computer sound is much better. The sousaphone (or tuba or whatever) is coming through load and clear.
Cool. -I couldn’t pick it out from the tv sound either. And wouldn’t have known it was a sousaphone if not for my band geek wife!
