Silly but harmless acts of rebellion...
This week I've been quietly been taking stacks of Time from magazine racks and flipping them upside down. It might not accomplish anything other than to annoy newsstand employees, but there's still a certain satisfaction in the act. Does anyone have other examples of this sort of thing? Has anyone gone to a bookstore and snuck a copy of No Logo onto the same endcap display as Hannity and O'Reilly?

1. Suggestion
Print up some of those "Tt's Just a Theory" stickers they put in evolution textbooks in the Red States and apply liberally to the writings of the wingnuts

2. I bend the corners of magazines I hate.
People won't buy them if they're damaged.

7. If a magazine I like, such as Adbusters,
is further in the back or only partially in view, I bring it out more in the open.

8. I shuffle the RW books to a different category area, like yoga or
meditation. They'll never go there.

10. I always cover RW books with
Kitty Kelly's book or David Brock's book. I can't stand to look at Ann Coulter or the cover of the Swift Boat Book. I also spread the good books out over the RW area so that it is covered. I thought I was the only one who did such a thing. LOL

12. During the campaign, I wrote on dollar bills 'Bush Lied; People Died"
Then this week, I RECEIVED a dollar bill that said, "The Bush Regime LIES!" It felt good to know that bill had passed through the hands of a kindred spirit!LOL
