Celebrate election night & the inauguration with "Burn'ems" Anti-Republican Effigy's
Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 09:57 PM by Hudgie DeRobertis
My brother made these for me and some friends and now he's decided to try selling them on Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/Democratic-Humor-anti-republican-Political-Effigys_W0QQitemZ200260751693QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200260751693&_trkparms=72%3A1205|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

He's listed them for 19.95 + 5.00 shipping If things go well he might expand and include other categories like the media, pundits and larger blocks for those most desired individuals.

The ultimate gift for any liberal this election year.

Over the last eight years we have seen our beloved country figuratively go up in smoke. With right-wing propaganda attacking from all sides we in the liberal community needed a way to relieve our frustration. Introducing “Burn’ems”, the best way to sooth your liberal soul. There’s nothing better than tossing a few of our favorite righty’s into the fire to warm our spirits. Each block contains a carved caricature of one of these menaces, 15 in each collection, plus a carved quotation or phrase representing them along with each individuals name.

With the election coming in weeks followed by the inauguration of what will hopefully be real change there is no better way to celebrate than showing these righty’s where they will ultimately spend eternity.

Our concept for Burn’ems is to recycle as much construction waste as we can. All of wood selected is dimensional lumber like 2x4, 2x6 and so on, not pressure treated lumber, plywood, MDF or particleboard so there are no chemicals or glues to be burned, only blocks made from pure wood that have only been kiln dried. Each block is shown is made from a 2x4 and is 6 inches high.

4. Really bad idea.
We have enough of the "Kill 'em!" mentality coming from Freeperville. We don't need it on our side. Let's just celebrate our victory (God willing), and then get to work on fixing up what the Repukes have fucked up. ;)
