Is there any way we could embrace what the other side calls us?
You see, I'm a Green Bay Packer fan. You may have heard that we are referred to as "Cheeseheads." Now, I'm pretty sure that was meant as a cut. But for some reason, we embraced the epithet and made it our own, stupid hats and all.

Okay, so this might be a stupid as hell idea, but maybe we could adopt the "rat" as our mascot, aka DemocRAT. He's a tough, street-wise little animal that doesn't take shit from anyone.

I'm at a loss as to how we could show it, however. Rat noses would probably be over the top, but maybe no more than Elephant noses.

Or do I need to go back to the drawing board?

1. I was wearing
one of those rubber bracelets, was blue and said Liberal on it. A coworker asked me what my bracelet said, and I said Liberal. She goes "ewe are you liberal", like I had cancer or AIDS.
