What have you got when a bunch of right wing extremists are standing on a corner in North Beverly Hills, in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel, wearing crazy costumes and holding signs while a nearly endless stream of RICH, OLD, WHITE GUYS IN SUV's and luxury sedans pull up the driveway?
You mean like THESE old geezers?Talk about LEFT and LEFTER!From Yahoo! NEWS:

The DC Chapter has one of abner's "Losing Share - Tell the Truth" banners which we use at the White House Press Correspondents Dinner every year.Yes, THANK YOU, abner! - for THREE wonderful signs!It's a great sign.
Thanks, abner.
In addition to your "Losing Share" banner, we had TWO of these powerful banners:Thanks also to www.ratherbiased.com for the INSPIRATION for this FReep!
(The producers from that show were also honored at the dinner.)FWIW, the photos posted so far from our FReep do NOT do it justice.
We were all over the MAIN ENTRANCE to the hotel, and we OVERWHELMED many dozens of cars arriving for this event.More on that soon - and wait until you see the VIDEO!
daviddennis had HIS (powerful) spotlight, and Bob J had another one, and with these mighty torches, we BLASTED the signs held by FReepers posted along both sides of the narrow driveway entering the hotel.To the arriving guests, it must have really looked like we had our our "media blitz" going on out there! :o)
We did meet one guy from Reuters - who was waiting for his date, and not strictly covering the event - or us, but he should make a GREAT contact in the future.And, we got a LONG interview with the EDITOR of TelevisionWeek...

When people see me wave with that goofy giant hand, they INSTINCTIVELY smile and wave.(Note: I am dressed a brutal mass-murdering tyrant, and they smile and wave.)
A giant "cartoon hand" should be "standard issue" for EVERY FReep, EVERYWHERE across the USA, imho.And, NO, Doc - you're NOT getting this one back. :o)
Our giant CBiaS signCongratulatioms also to LA Chapter president DoughtyOne for his HUGE (and hugely EFFECTIVE) "monster" sign:
