1. Hmmm
wonder what it would be like if we set aside a day when everyone had that sign on their cars and everyone honked like crazy, especially around Congressional offices?

2. Pick a "Honk to Impeach" Day! Start it here! Promote it...
No one has to travel to Washington, D.C. No one has to spend any money. Put little signs in your car window when it is parked. Create a hand gesture to communicate with others! Could be a massive display across the nation and the World!

10. Sept 11 would be tempting. But good taste would probably be the 10th or 12th.
Depending on whether you wanted to dog on their totally unprepared ass (the 10th), or the totally FUed response (the 12th), since.

11. I say the 12th...the 10th would give him the 11th to pout and be
the victim.

4. There's a lot of old-time Finnish socialists and whatnot
up there along the lake, and all through from the Minnesota Iron range through Superior & the south shore & up into the UP. That's my old stomping grounds up that way.

7. JR, I'm from Virginia on the Iron Range. I have a cabin on
Lake Vermilion so I get to visit several times a summer.

Where are you from? Where do you live now?
