3. Not here, money.
I plan on being there and joining the disruption. I personally don't care if a bunch of fucking bible-thumpers call us losers. We'll see who the losers are when the shockwave happens.

4. Want to join me on Constitution Ave?
Not on the sideline with fruit, but on my butt in the middle of the street. They want to have their "inaugurahl" parade, they will have to carry my frozen ass out of the way.

11. Not if we MAKE THEM
They haven't taken our computers yet. We have email. WE HAVE THE POWER, as Howard Dean says. We can TELL the media what we like, and what we DON'T like.

The truth of the matter is that the bitching takes place largely in partisan forums. Not enough people complain to the TV and radio outlets, boycott their advertisers, make a stink, write letters to the editor, make phone calls and GRIPE directly to these offending agencies.

Think about it. We punched the ever-lovin' shit out of SINCLAIR on a wing and a prayer, with almost NO NOTICE. We all got outraged and got active. IMAGINE if we did this sort of thing in a precise, systematic way. An alert goes out, everyone starts bitching, typing and calling. Media outlets are overwhelmed with a tide of SCORN. Advertisers are put on notice. Individual media whores are held up for scrutiny and called to account. Demonstrations are planned and executed. That's how the Fundies did it, and they aren't as computer savvy as we are. If we decide to go that route, we could kick some serious ass between now and the mid term elections, and that could make all the difference.

WE HAVE THE POWER. We just need to use it, en masse.

7. I just remembered a dream I had
several nights ago. I dreamed that Bush held his second inauguration indoors, with a small invited audience. On the Capitol steps there was a big screen television for the masses to view.

12. peaceful? no fucking way

I was there in 2000, and it was far more violent than the media showed.

Then, I was unsure if the violence was justified or smart.

Now, I don't give a damn. I'll be there with steel-toed boots and fists of iron. The first rethug who gets in my face will taste metal.

13. He got 51% of the vote, what do you protest?
Last time he was a thug. He's still thug, but this time he won.

19. That does not negate our right to peaceably assemble.
We have some serious grievences here. The people who voted for Bush need to know that.

Yes, I would rain hard on their day of "celebration."

I cannot respect the office of the president when it is occupied by such a venal and willfully ignorant man as George W. Bush.

15. My personal opinion would be to stay away.
An empty street would show how popular he isn't. If you must line the street though, I think turning your backs on the motorcade when it passes you would be appropriate and won't be considered vandalism like eggs would be. Make sure there are people there with video cameras so that it gets posted on the internet. You know the mainstream news isn't going to show anything disrespectful of the Chimperor, so you need to put it up yourselves.
