It is a given that RIDICULE works better to deflate tyrants than anything else. So. . .

Have people parody Babs, et al in ludicrous wigs and costumes AND get a LOUD SPEAKER system to play their songs ON THE WRONG SPEED. . .LOUDLY and over and over and over.

Sing and dance and whirl and spin and laugh and laugh and laugh. The more outrageous the better.

They can tolerate anything but mockery.

No surprise about David Foster. He is an antigun person. The trouble is he's Canadian. Or maybe he was Canadian and is now a US citizen. I'm sure whatever he is doing here is perfectly legal. I'm sure the dims would never allow anything illegal to happen. Right? They have been very strict about foreign contributions. Right?

The party of the Lakawana 5, McKinney and Farrakhan- turn here for Davis fund-raiser.

We're people, people who need beach access.

Meshuga's turn here.

DNC a friend of Israel- are you NUTS?

Actors acting like they care.

Betty Ford Center reunion.

"PEOPLE WHO NEED (to swindle money from other)PEOPLE" might work on a poster with Davis in the background?

Actors acting like they care.

LOL!

I sent all my old BS CD's to her agent a couple of years ago, when she ruined my enjoyment of listening to her,,,, darn, I with I could send them again.
It sure would be fun to have a giant trash barrel on the 29th, with a proper lable -- hum, something like "Benefit
yourself! CD's collected here to be returned to the those trashing the USA" - could be lot's of folks in LA would like to sort through their old videos and CD's made by these 'artists', and clean up the home eviroment.

A 'Dump Davis' sticker has to be on the barrel!

Very good!

But since my primary objective is to TRASH our soon-to-be-EX-governor, how about:

Baghdad Barbra meets eGray Davis:
They will do ANYTHING for money!

Or SOMETHING like that...
