In the tradition of the first Absurdists, who wrote and performed and drew and danced in response to the horror and devastation of World War, we will create our own Theater of the Absurd in response to our Idiot Boy King's relentless drive to pitch the world into a state of permanent warfare.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: Wear costumes, bring INSTRUMENTS and NOISEMAKERS of all kinds, bring posters and banners (sample slogans below). Be prepared to mock the Axis of Oil without mercy.
SLOGAN IDEAS: -Regime Change Begins At Home -OBEY -All Hail The Idiot Boy King -Attack to Defend -Wag the Dog -We Have Always Been At War With Oceania -ExxonMobil (or whatever) Flag over the legend: "Try Burning This One, Asshole!" or "These Colors Don't Run!" -Free the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse -God Hates Peace -Jail the Trees -Peace is Terrorism -Bomb Harder -Make War Not Love -No Justice! No Peace, Either! -Before We Build New Weapons of Mass Destruction, Let's Get Some Use Out of the Ones We Already Have -Bring Back McCarthyism -Tell Us (US?) What to Think -Bush is a Wimp/Cheney is a Pussy -War IS Globalization -More Bush Family Vendettas (Dukakis: You're Next!) (or Noriega, Perot, Buchanan, Clinton, Gore) -We Want Gulf War III - Starring Jenna Bush! -Annex Mexico -We (heart) Halliburton, Harken, Enron, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, Microsoft, etc. -God Bless (same as above) -Pre-empt Germany, France, Democracy, The UN, Congress, The Constitution
*Because we can't "Endure" another "Operation" for "Freedom" or "Democracy" or any other Noble-Idea-Twisted-Into-Orwellian-Knots-War.
*Because everyone from James Baker III to Nelson Mandela to CIA director George Tenet thinks this is dumb.
*Because every time Bush opens his mouth it sounds like he's playing Dungeons and Dragons.
