Subway blogging (for LynneSin)

[Squeech]

I ride the subway into Boston every day to get to my day job. The subway cars have advertising handbills in them, but since our economy is doing so well (yeah, right) most of the current ads are of the PSA variety. This morning I saw a handbill from the T itself, soliciting public comment for some of its planned enhancements-- at meetings that took place last December. The headline said something like "What do we need to improve our facilities and services?"

Some graffitist wrote in: "More Cowbell." Of course I thought of you, LynneSin.

One of the actual ad campaigns running now promotes the Boston Globe, the allegedly liberal broadsheet newspaper hereabouts (as opposed to the Herald, which is a Murdoch-owned tabloid). The Globe's handbills tout the catchphrase "If it's on your mind, we cover it." My own contribution to the public discourse has been to write the word "IMPEACH" on a bunch of adhesive stickers and attach them to those handbills, whenever I can do so without calling too much attention to myself. I was so pleased the first time I rode a car I'd already blogged...

1. Cowbell can always improve our subways

but can it take the stench away?

I need to get a cowbell for the next protest in April in NYC.
