Remember the Bush/Cheney "create your own banner" tool?
This is funny!

The backstory is as follows: In March, the web site for the Bush-Cheney campaign - the real one, paid for by MBNA America and Richard Scaife - featured a "create your own banner" tool, where you could enter your own slogan and print out your own poster, with the Bush-Cheney logo, and a note at the bottom "paid for by Bush-Cheney '04, Inc."

> Democrats, of course, couldn't get enough of this. The original sloganator accepted everything, then it started censoring profanity and words like "Hitler" "dictator," and "evil". Nevertheless, many clever folks exploited the sloganator to their own ends before its sad demise only a couple of weeks after its birth, and its mourners assembled some of the best for the slide show.

I have a feeling some DUers (and you know who you are) had a hand in some of these gems!

where someone saved the pdfs of all of his anti-bush creations using the tool and made them available for printouts?

5. Good for you! I think a lot of DUers made banners!
Sadly, by the time I found the site, they had disabled the infamous "sloganator."

6. You think anyone could 'revamp' it...
write up a script or program to do that? Maybe our resident programming admin.
