**CALM DOWN** is what I would want to bring. I have a bud who lives in DC, but he abhors these things, and always finds a reason to flee the city when they occur. Maybe I can convince him to attend (and buy me dinner). ---

We’re hoping to be able to go. My husband is planning to wear his t-shirt that identifies him as a “Latte-drinking liberal elitist.” I plan on stealing the best sign idea from this thread and shamelessly taking credit for the cleverness. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stewart-colbert-rally-on-the-national-mall-30-oct-2010/554053.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stewart-colbert-rally-on-the-national-mall-30-oct-2010/554053.md?page=4)
