Where do the Democrats stand on feathertapping?

Tim Cavanaugh | August 27, 2008

I haven't been impressed by the strength of dissent at this convention, but it's good to see that old fashioned Dada still plays:

The flipside is written in the Cyrillic alphabet, and the pranksters handing these out were calling on Obama to make his position on birdwatching clear.

This sounds like a good plot for a movie.

Dada... during live convention coverage the other night on MSNBC, someone was waving a "bring back Crystal Pepsi" sign in the background.

One of the classics:

"From the archives: The best, most appropriate, and mysteriously prophetic comment about the late Ronald Reagan was made by J.G. Ballard in 1967, an innocent time when the idea of a lousy B-movie actors running for political office was still considered an utterly ridiculous idea

[At the 1980 Republican Convention in San Francisco a copy of the Reagan text, minus its title and the running sideheads, and furnished with the seal of the Republican Party, was distributed by some puckish pro-situationists to the RNC delegates. It was accepted for what it resembled: a psychological position paper on the candidate's subliminal appeal, commissioned by some maverick think-tank.]

================================================
WHY I WANT TO F*CK RONALD REAGAN [1967] by JG Ballard [excerpt from "The Atrocity Exhibition" ]

RONALD REAGAN AND THE CONCEPTUAL AUTO DISASTER. Numerous studies have been conducted upon patients in terminal paresis (GPI), placing Reagan in a series of simulated auto crashes, e.g. multiple pileups, head-on collisions, motorcade attacks (fantasies of Presidential assassinations remained a continuing preoccupation, subject showing a marked polymorphic fixation on windshields and rear trunk assemblies). Powerful erotic fantasies of an anal-sadistic surrounded the image of the Presidential contender.

So, is this supposed to also be a reference to how McCain is an avid bird-watcher, or just random?
