9 Key Rings: A brilliant idea for the Dem Convention
9 Key Rings: A brilliant idea for the Dem Convention

This guy is brilliant. He suggests that the folks running the Democratic convention go out and get thousands and thousands of key rings, pronto (you know, those little circular things that dangle from your extra set of keys, and you can write "home" on them or whatever). He suggests handing 9 (or 7, whatever) of these to each attendee, we can attach our own keys to them, one to each ring, and dangle them for the cameras throughout the convention. Even better, he recommends writing "House #1" to House #9" on the rings, but so long as we get rings that have some area to write on, we can add the numbers ourselves.

Remember what they did to John Kerry with the band-aids? This is brilliant. It's also a hell of a lot classier than the attacks on American vets that John McCain's buddies launched in 2004.

1. I like it, but...
news cycles are running at such a pace, this might actually be STALE by the time the convention starts!

Now, bookmarks that look like pay stubs for 50-dollar-an-hour lettuce picking jobs...

3. I like the arugula idea better.
Give every attendee a head of arugula.

4. No
Don't become what you fight. It's childish and debases the importance of the real issues.

5. I am against this key ring thing...
It is base. If the guy has an unpleasant association with a sound, for the stated reasons, it is really lame to push that...
