The Burning Bush

Effigy by Joel. (I think that was his name!)
What did you do on New Year’s Eve? I went upstate, and helped build a bonfire! Then, during the countdown to midnight, we burned effigies of Condi and Rove. We saved President Bush for the stroke of midnight. Here he is waiting his turn: the little snot. And here he is on his way to the bonfire! One more, here, of him burning, in case you can’t watch the video. (Last two pics are from Farley Crawford’s website). All in good fun, mind you!

Happy New Year! May it be better than last year, and still not as good as next year!
PS- HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little brother, Johnny!

That must have been tremendous fun. Porr ol’ Rove. Not much to him, is there?

Oh yes, very cathartic!

Awesome! Wish I could have lit the match!
Where upstate did you go? I’m originally from Syracuse and raised near Binghamton.

Well, because our cheerful bonfire was against fire code regulations (no adding to a fire after 3pm), I feel I should be discrete! Let’s just say not far from Poughkeepsie, where I used to hang out as a kid, bowling at the “Hoe Bowl,” owned by my dad’s best friend, Bob Hoe. I stopped by there and took some pics for old times’ sake, too!

I’M OUTRAGED! You ruined a perfectly good Trader Joe’s shopping bag.

Whee! The expressions on their faces are just perfect – fat smug Rove, etc. etc.
