That's about as legitimate as an action as anything that the GOP has put forth...

I'll make some nutty crunch and call it Cantor's Crackle

1. Bake sales are regressive.
The rich consume limited sweets.

2. Just cover some weird shit in chocolate and they will buy it...
Like Turtle Turds or some other such nonsense.

3. They should have an event
Where the citizenry is, for a fee, allowed to bitch-slap every person in DC that's standing in the way of progress. They can make additional money by showing it pay-per-view. They could have lobbyist cage matches and betting as a side entertainment.

Sounds like fun for the whole family to me.

6. OR,, tell them all they're gathering on the front steps for a group photo
and then eggs will be disbursed to all and we can have at it. You know they would all show up for that photo op.. I'd take the Amtrak for that event.

7. Another excellent idea!
Can those eggs be rotten, too? :D

10. I am NOT baking anything else today.
And if we're serving Republicans, I'll need to find some vile recipes or at least buy some ex-lax. :evilgrin:

11. Only if you steal one of the Right's ideas
You know the "affirmative action bake sales" the College Repugnants hold, where a black female can buy a cookie for a quarter but a white male pays $5? Do that here. Working class Democrats pay $1 for a brownie (or $2 for one of those really good Keith Stroup* brownies), rich Repukes pay $5 per brownie and working class Repukes pay $20 for a brownie someone's already taken a bite out of. And they don't get offered the Stroup Specials.

* Keith Stroup founded the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

14. If anyone called Alice B Toklas bakes brownies...
I'll bet we'll raise some serious cash.
