I am, once again, pretty clueless living out here in the middle of nowhere (but, hey, W is pretty clueless, and he lives in D.C. :->), but apparently there are quite a lot of protest activities planned for the time of W’s upcoming inauguration. Not suprisingly, Michael Moore has a page devoted to the subject.
One that struck me as interesting were Turn Your Back on Bush, which encourages people to attend inauguration events in “plain clothes”, and then all turn their back on Bush at some pre-arranged signal. (Lord knows he’s done it to us often enough.) It almost makes me want to watch some of the events on television just to see if it works, but I’m not sure it’s enough to make me suffer through the awful commentaries.
Another which I liked was Not One Damn Dime. The idea here is simply to not spend any money on the 20th. I like it because it’s simple and inclusive and feasible. I’ll have to talk to WeatherGirl and Sub-Evil Boy and see if I can talk them into making this a family thing.
I’m almost looking forward to the 20th now :-).
