National "I'm Embarrassed by My President" Day April 1 2004

[pagerbear]

Have you seen this? From an email I received:

Are you embarrassed by the arrogance, greed, shortsightedness, selfishness, and outright lies told by George W. Bush?

Join tens of thousands of others across the country and world and wear a brown armband or ribbon to symbolize all the BS coming out of the White House.

It's not just that I disagree with the current administration. I'm outraged. And I'm downright embarrassed to talk to anyone from another country. I'm embarassed to have an President so arrogant, so dishonest, so hawkish, that in three years, he has nearly destroyed any good relations we had before he took office, and worsened those that were already bad.

I find myself apologizing to my foreign friends both in this country and abroad while trying vainly to explain the sheer idiocy and illogic of the current administration's policies.

So this April 1st, April Fools day, join tens of thousands of others who are wearing brown armbands or ribbons to signify the bullshit flowing down from Washington.

3. I love it!

4. I don't like the idea of wearing red, white and blue if you agree

with the likes of Dennis Miller. Why are we always letting them hijack our flag? It should be wear red white and blue ribbon to symbolize saving our country and a brown ribbon for what we are saving it from-bullshit bush.
