Will the Rally to Restore Sanity Be the End of Jon Stewart, and 7 Other Stories You'll Be Talking About Today

Also in the Friday edition of The Broadsheet: An anti-obesity group defends the controversial Mike & Molly article for Marie Claire (sounds familiar)... the anonymous dude who wrote about Christine O'Donnell's nether region has potentially been outed... Lost alums return to TV... and more ahead.

· After weeks of discussion and promotion (from even the president), Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity will happen tomorrow afternoon in Washington, D.C. But will it prove to be Stewart's own Waterloo? Here's what Politico writes: "Stewart will navigate two sets of risks Saturday: He will, a handwringing legion of journalists and bloggers worry, cross the once-bright line from commentary to political participation, and find himself stranded, unable to return. And he could -- television industry analysts say -- alienate portions of an audience for his show that isn't as polarized as that of the real cable news shows, with viewers divided starkly left and right." Yikes, sounds serious. Though as echoed by Jason Linkins on Huffington Post: Doesn't he do that every night on The Daily Show? [Politico via HuffPo]

· The Internet melted yesterday when Gawker posted an anonymous account of a one night stand with non-witch Christine O'Donnell, so you didn't think it would take long before the dude was outed. And so it goes: Dustin Dominiak, enjoy your 15 minutes of infamy. [TSG]

· Former Lost executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have sold a drama project to ABC entitled Once Upon a Time. The show will be a "modern-day take on fairy tales" featuring "a mix of sci-fi and fantasy with a strong mystery element" and a "female protagonist." Start the Evangeline Lilly rumors in 3...2...
