New Bumpersticker: "Impeach Bush: There is some shit we won't eat."
I just found this while checking out the Hunter S. Thompson store. I figured some DUers might enjoy it.

"Impeach Bush" Bumper Sticker
NEW A fellow Woody Creek company has gotten creative and made their very own bumper sticker. Flying Dog Arts is run by George Stranahan, a longtime neighbor and friend of Dr. Thompson's. The text “THERE IS SOME SHIT WE WON’T EAT!” was adopted by Dr. Hunter Thompson and the Woody Creek Caucus in 1995 when they organized a protest against the Aspen Skiing Company, which was planning an expansion of the Aspen airport to make room for 747s. (The caucus prevailed.) The phrase has come to signify an attitude in Woody Creek against injustices for which we will not stand."

1. "There is some shit I will not eat" comes from an EE Cummings poem
I'll look for it. Hold on....

2. i sing of Olaf glad and big
i sing of Olaf glad and big

i sing of Olaf glad and big
whose warmest heart recoiled at war:
a conscientious object-or

his wellbelovéd colonel(trig
westpointer most succinctly bred)
took erring Olaf soon in hand;
but--though an host of overjoyed
noncoms(first knocking on the head
him)do through icy waters roll
that helplessness which others stroke
with brushes recently employed
anent this muddy toiletbowl,
while kindred intellects evoke
allegiance per blunt instruments--
Olaf(being to all intents
a corpse and wanting any rag
upon what God unto him gave)
responds,without getting annoyed
"I will not kiss your fucking flag"

straightway the silver bird looked grave
(departing hurriedly to shave)

but--though all kinds of officers
(a yearning nation's blueeyed pride)
their passive prey did kick and curse
until for wear their clarion
voices and boots were much the worse,
and egged the firstclassprivates on
his rectum wickedly to tease
by means of skilfully applied
bayonets roasted hot with heat--
Olaf(upon what were once knees)
does almost ceaselessly repeat
"there is some shit I will not eat"

our president,being of which
assertions duly notified
threw the yellowsonofabitch
into a dungeon,where he died

Christ(of His mercy infinite)
i pray to see;and Olaf,too

preponderatingly because
unless statistics lie he was
more brave than me:more blond than you.

--e. e. cummings

3. Well, we didn't read that one in HS.
It's a good poem, though. Thank you.

:thumbsup:
