Protest idea
I'm coming out of this with a sense of grim quietude. Where before I wanted to scream and wreck shit, now I feel that strange calm one gets in the face of a true horror.

In the eye of the emotional hurricane, as it were, I've been struck by grisly inspiration. Let's print up a few hundred thousand t-shirts with large images of the most shocking and hideous wounds/corpses of the Iraq war. I mean the ones that make you want to throw up or double over in tears. A lot of us have the technology to make these at home, right now.

And then, let's all wear them to work on the day the Electoral College meets--or maybe the inauguration.

A silent, visual protest to remind Red America that their sick fantasies have real-world results--and to make them pull their heads out of the sand and look.

1. Similar to the abortion panel truck that runs up and down I-44.
Really disgusting pictures but while driving you have to look.

2. Yes, that tactic is part of my inspiration.
Dead baby politics? We haven't even begun to tap into the possibilties.
