If you were to design an antimonument to the Bush administration, what would it be or look like?

[The Night Owl]

Brainstorm ideas for an antimonument dedicated to the Bush administration.

[enid602]

1. finger

Perhaps an enormous extended middle finger.

[rhiannon55]

2. A giant oil barrel

[NashVegas]

5. Topped With a Pretzel

..

[rhiannon55]

9. Haha!

[EstimatedProphet]

3. The guy from Abu Ghraib with the hood

[porphyrian]

4. Nothing. I would erase them from memory. - n/t

[The Night Owl]

7. Those who forget the past...

You know the saying.

[porphyrian]

10. Yeah, but these guys are themselves a repeat, and an example of forgetting the past.

Preserving their memory serves no one but them.

[BluePatriot]

22. Maybe preserving the memory of his victims is better...

...than making an anti-monument to him.

[porphyrian]

23. I'd back that idea, though I think they'd be better served otherwise than just a monument.

Like, maybe, getting houses and jobs to Katrina victims already, or the surviving Iraqi civilians. Or giving decent healthcare to the vets they pretend to support.

[BluePatriot]

26. So, positive action as a monument in itself. I can dig that. (nt)

[Raven]

6. I was going to say: "a steaming pile of dog poop" but

that would be a real insult to all canines.

[LaurenG]

8. An inverted Statue of liberty with her head stuck in a pile of gold. nt

[rhiannon55]

11. Make that BLACK gold...

...Texas tea.

[LaurenG]

16. That'll work very well. nt

[krispos42]

12. Head up ass

[alfredo]

13. "Squating" on a soldier's grave.

[GeorgeGist]

14. ?

[bunkerbuster1]

15. Squatting and taking a crap on the Constitution?

Pissing on the world?

Ok, off to find brain bleach...

[TransitJohn]

17. A huge 10 thousand gallon clear tank full of blood. eom

[no_hypocrisy]

18. Polished black marble tombstone.

Inscription from George Santayana: Those who who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

[rucky]

19. Keeping the WTC just the way he left it...

on 9/12/01

[KittyWampus]

that's my idea as well. Just leave that huge gaping hole in the ground.

[eShirl]

20. collapsing house of cards

[Brigid]

21. A coffin with a flag draped over it.

I think that just about says it all.

[HamdenRice]

24. Bathtub full of sewage; model houses w/ little plastic people waving

a little replica of New Orleans several days after Katrina.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

25. Bronze his embalmed corpse being hung from the Washington Monument. (nt)

[Ganja Ninja]

27. A toppled bronze statue of him with it's head missing.

It would stand in a circular plaza and surrounding it would be the toppled remains of the WTC, a large fountain shaped like New Orleans with bodies floating in it and a few hundred bombed out cars and trucks surrounding the rest of the plaza. In front of it all I would place a large tombstone engraved with this: "Here lies the Honor of the once great nation of the United States of America."

[WinkyDink]

33. "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair."

Ozymandias---Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said--"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart....Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
5 And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
10 My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

[knitter4democracy]

35. I was thinking that, too.

Did a paper on it this last spring. Awfully powerful poem against power.

[EFerrari]

28. What about a state of the art mass grave? n/t

[chaplainM]

29. It's already in place

Jefferson Memorial. He was a brilliant scientist, hard working public servant, avid reader, and he believed in liberty. You can't get more opposite-of-Bush than that.

[The Night Owl]

31. Well said. (EOM)

[applegrove]

30. A cluster**** of snakes.

[Nay]

32. A giant toilet, with the earth getting flushed.

[lonestarnot]

34. A pile of puppies that are crossed between Shitzu and bulldogs.

A big stank'n pile of bullshit for bushitler.

[Edweird]

36. I thought the pic of the poop with a W flag in it was pretty good.

[BuyingThyme]

37. A statue of George W. Bush.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

38. A huge, very deep hole.

[The Night Owl]

40. An idea based on your idea of a very deep hole...

How about an inverse of the Vietnam memorial... Instead of having a wall rising up from the ground, have a wall descending into a long gash or trench almost like a knife creating a wound in the Earth. At the point of "the knife" would be the name George W. Bush and behind his name would be the names of the GOP and its supporters.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

39. Here's one.

[Brigid]

41. Ding! Ding!

I think we have our winner. :)

[Clark2008]

42. How the hell did that happen?
