OK...So here's the plan:

[Jackpine Radical]

On November 8, we all expect and hope to be hung over from celebrating the Democratic sweep of the nation.

However, there is some fear--realistic fear--that the Puggies will pull off some kinda crap, be it Diebold or something else, or some combination of everything possible, to steal the election.

Therefore, I think everyone should have some blaze orange clothing on hand as an emergency preparation. If it is apparent that something has gone wrong with the electoral process, we will all come out on Wednesday morning wearing blaze orange. This will be the emblem of our protest.

It is important that you have the orange clothing-a hat, a jacket, whatever--ahead of time, for as soon as the media get hold of the story, I predict that the orange clothing will disappear from the shelves of the stores. Some of it will be bought up in a first rush as people seek to express their outrage, but I bet that the gov't will start rounding it up in an effort to contain the visible signs of the public outcry.

1. And then that night

you realize the elections aren't until November 7, and in addition to being hungover you're pissed at yourself and begin the long process of calling everybody you left drunken celebratory phone messages for.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Duh. Major cognitive meltdown here.

[democracyindanger]

8. Just a bit

of friendly snarky editing. ;)

Personally, I'll be waaaaay too hungover to even get dressed.

10. Taken in the spirit in which it was intended.

2. But . . .

The election isnt until November 7th

3. Then you won't have to change clothes when they round you up

}(
Sorry, couldn't resist.
My first thought was those orange jumpsuits they have you wear when you're in prison.

[Jackpine Radical]

5. I knew exactly what you meant.

Unfortunately I have spent a lot of time in jail.

(As a forensic psychologist, I hasten to add...)

6. I agree! We need to have a plan, symbols. I like it!

[Jackpine Radical]

13. You SHOULD like it. The idea of formalizing the project ahead of time

was yours.

[havocmom]

7. Pick a different color. It's hunting season in many places

Orange is not at all out of the ordinary.

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Then that works *for* the plan not against it.

The more the merrier, no? Even if some are unwittingly merry and ..... uh ..... gay. :)

[Jackpine Radical]

11. Exactly.

[havocmom]

17. Won't even make a statement in too many states

Poka dots - not THAT'd get noticed.

NGU.

[Jackpine Radical]

Too lazy to PM.

[ClassWarrior]

He just may have a conflict.
