Fantasy Only: Bush & Cheney Gone - What will you do?

[IdaBriggs]

Giant Alien Space Whales have arrived from outer space, and decided to drop Bush and Cheney into a black hole as a sacrifice to the Gods of Sanity. (Blessed be the Space Whales!) After begging them to also take Frist and DeLay (which they agree to consider), what do you do? How do you "celebrate" this momentous event?

Details, please. :)

1. Champagne for everyone on my street

sort of like a lemonade stand with booze and fireworks.

[helderheid]

9. took the words out of my mouth

[noahmijo]

2. First I'll put a brand new American Flag up

Then i will protest in front of the giant alien space whales' version of the white house until they strap the two criminals to a device that shrinks them down a to a size no smaller than a thumbtack.

4. I love the idea of putting a flag up the moment Bush is gone.

Not so sure about the space whales.

[yy4me]

3. Drive around town and toot my horn. Sorta like the Thanksgiving

Football game.

[NoodleBoy]

5. feak out that Rice is now President, and probably has an approval rating

of like 95%, since that always happens when presidents are murdered.

seriously, people. seriously.

[IdaBriggs]

13. This thread is about SPACE WHALES -- not murdering anyone.

Seriously, get a grip. Indictment, impeachment, resignation due to "poor health" -- not every "they are gone!" wish has to automatically mean death and/or destruction, does it?

And besides, I *like* space whales. ON EDIT: Think "Star Trek IV!"

:)

6. Have a parade! Thousands of them all over the US of A!!!

Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, high school bands, baton twirlers, funny old men wearing fezes and riding tiny little motorcycles! Ice cream, watermelon, corn on the cob, apple pie! All waving the flag, proud and high, for the first time in years!

I soooo want to have America back.

[BlueJac]

7. Party in the Streets....Bush Gone Fest

[Nostradammit]

8. Find that black hole and piss in it.

.

[fighttotheend]

10. Celebrate that animals, Us and Forrest's are now safe from being extinct

[Skidmore]

11. Depends on who is left in their place.

If it is Hastert and Hatch or some such combination, I'll beg to be evaporated or ionized or whatever is available.

12. 36-hour hardcore techno rave on the Mall

With Lenny Dee, Manu le Malin, Delta 9, Tocsin, and HCM performing.

Followed by a 36-hour ambient/chill with Frank Bretschnider, Taylor Deupree, FSOL, and even Jazzanova just to keep it fresh.

[titoresque]

14. Dancing in the streets!

Hugging complete strangers? Sort of the scene out of Wizard of Oz when the wicked witch was smushed by the house!
Yeah like that.....and the reaction I imagine if the prize patrol were to FINALLY knock on my door with the big check :)

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. Laugh my head off, then cry

with joy and run around practically making out with everyone I meet. Oh, and I'll go right into the heart of Portland (ME, not OR) and scream my head off. God, that would be the best fucking day of my life.

Ah, fantasies. :D :D :D

[applegrove]

16. Will not happen. Black holes cannot swallow black holes.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

17. ROFL n/t

[derby378]

18. Hate to disagree, but I think it's theoretically plausible

It would be weird as heck, though.

[applegrove]

19. okay - but we don't know who the most powerful of the black holes are?

Could be that the Bush WH swallows the black hole. That may have happened already. Could explain why all institutional knowledge on how to help in a disaster disappeared for 4 whole days. I had heard that there was a solar flare around then.

[hughee99]

20. Immediately start an "Impeach Hastert" thread... n/t

[goforit]

21. I'd chase all GOP thugsters out of town and will never leave one stone

unturned!!!

Their cake eating days would be over and they would now be eating dirt.

[LSdemocrat]

22. Ask them to wait until we take back the House in 2006

Imagine, President Nancy Pelosi!

[LiberalEsto]

23. A toast with non-alcoholic wine

and then going around the neighborhood giving the razzberry to all the die-hard rethugs.

[IdaBriggs]

24. Too fun -- more please! nt

[Ioo]

25. Expose My Secret ID on FR, and just post ha ha ha ha ha ha

over and over and over.

[spuddonna]

26. Buy the whales some krill and go get wasted! Yeah baby! n/t

[readmoreoften]

27. I ain't doin' shit 'til they GET ROVE OFF MY PLANET!

And the whole PNAC. Then maybe we'll have America back.

[tlsmith1963]

28. Celebrate!

That would be the happiest day of my life.:party: :toast:

[Richard Steele]

29. Party like it's 1999! Growing economy and surpluses for everyone!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. First, I'll hang up the flag that I put away on 11/2/04.

Then I'll go to the liquor store and buy some Mumm's champagne. I'll chill it for a bit, then I'll sit on my front porch and drink the whole bottle. And then, once appropriately drunk, I will run around in the street, shrieking and laughing and hugging complete strangers. And I think I will have a lot of company.

[deadparrot]

31. Cry.

And cry. And cry some more.

[davekriss]

32. I would put a soapbox on the DC mall, climb on top, and...

...sing sadly at first, thinking of all the pain, of all the death and blood; but my voice would grow more strong as the lyrics progress -- understanding that we've awaken from our current nightmare:

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

-- Bob Dylan, 1963 (apologies for lengthy quote)

I would then knock the dust off my shoes and leave DC for home. I'd hug my wife, hold my children in my arms ... and cry. Tears of grief turning to tears of relief turning to tears of joy. Surely light would appear more bright, colors glow in heightened intensity, every tree turn up it's branches as if in grand praise of the warmth of the everyday sun, and every bird sing songs of delight and joy again. Goodness would flow out from every pore of the good citizens that persevered the Dark Ages of Dumbya, and all would be well in the land again.

The Creator has a master plan / Peace and love across the land
The Creator makes but one demand / Peace and love for every man

33. Some wonderful responses -- what about the morning crew? nt
