Farewell Sloganator....
Alas I don't know How I will do without you.

My sister up in MD sent me this link (sound=on)
http://homepages.nyu.edu/%7Emeo232/sloganator

Heres some background:

Earlier this month, the web site for the Bush-Cheney campaign - the
real
one, paid for by MBNA America and Richard Scaife - featured a "create
your own banner" tool, where you could enter your own slogan and print

out
your own poster, with the Bush-Cheney logo, and a note at the bottom
"paid
for by Bush-Cheney '04, Inc." Democrats, of course, couldn't get
enough
of this. The original sloganator accepted everything, then it started
censoring profanity and words like "Hitler" "dictator," and "evil".
Nevertheless, many clever folks exploited the sloganator to their own
ends before its sad demise only a couple of weeks after its birth, and

its
mourners assembled some of the best for the slide show. The link
below is best enjoyed with the sound on:

1. I had a card from MBNA./ i applied for it
because at the time it was associated with Clean Water Action. I used it and then when I found out that they gave so much money to bush I paid it off. Every time they send me information or call me asking about continuing my card I tell them that I don't want to hear from them because I will not use a card that gives money to bush. Plain and simple. I have not heard from them this month but for the last several years I heard from them all the time.

2. I think DU had something to do with the demise of the sloganator...
the day someone posted the link on DU, we all went hog wild making these kickass banners...and within a few hours of that post, you were no longer able to personalize them.

3. I must have missed that...
I didn't even know it was gone until I got the e-mail from my sister.
