D.C. toilet shortage is Keeping Fear Alive
October 20, 2010 - 7:44am
WASHINGTON -- The calls of nature may be particularly loud at an upcoming D.C. event if attendees don't have a place to "go."
Comedy Central organizers are having a hard time finding port-o-potties for their rallies to take place in a week and a half, after the Marine Corps Marathon planners snatched up about 800 of them for the same weekend.

The organizers of Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity and Stephen Colbert's March to Keep Fear Alive, both to take place Saturday, Oct. 30, have asked the marathon staff to share the portable toilets with their 65,000 expected to attendees.

But the Marines aren't budging -- they plan to lock the toilets until the morning of their race the day after, they tell the New York Times.

The National Park Service requires portable toilets for events expected to exceed capacity of "comfort facilities" on NPS property, according to a department document. They recommend one toilet for every 300 people.

recommend one toilet for every 300 people.

How do you get 300 in a porta-loo? Thats got to be worse than 23 in a brit call box or 32 in a Mini cooper! that will squeeze the SH** out of you !

sounds to me like Colber and Company picked a bad weekend. the Marine Corp marathon is one of the biggest marathons in teh country, is held every year and is HIGHLY publicized.

Like that old saying goes, "a lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part".

Tell 'em 'tough shi-!'. Literally!

i think you picked the wrong thread...these two are hardly "moderates", or even political pundits for that matter
