One sign at the DC march that was a hit was one that moved.
My friend who was with me at the march said he might be able to recreate the movement in the sign so other people could see it. Bush's mouth had written in it "Bla, Bla, Bla" while the oil well pumped up and down. I thought I would share it with my fellow DU'ers.

Well, I promised my travel buddies that I would try to animate that bush oil machine picture. While this doesn't actually do it justice, it does give you a sense as to how the machine worked. The crank that the guy had seemed very simple, and his cranking was effortless. It must have been well-oiled, and while I didn't ask him, I had hoped that he was using a vegetable based oil.

Here it is:

3. Sheer genius. If only he had chosen to use "LIE" instead of "BLA"
...that would have been perfect.
