So I wore my "Anyone But Bush" T-shirt in Vegas this weekend...
...and I was absolutely stunned at how many thumbs up I got. For example, I was walking past the construction on the Bally Monorail and a construction worker said "You're damn right! That (expletive deleted) got us into another (expletive deleted) Vietnam. That stupid, no-good, lyin' (expletive deleted) ain't got the smarts God gave a turnip."

I just started laughing, and so did this guy.

I had one Ann Coulter lookalike call me an idiot as she passed by... typical freeper, I thought.

I'd say that it was about 15-1 positive reaction to the shirt with many people asking me where I got it.

The tide is turning, folks, I saw it myself this weekend.

(If only I could've played better blackjack....damn 12's!)

2. Are those shirts being mass produced?
I think that really is the winning slogan!

19. What the heck
it's only money ;-)

Did you make it over to the Bellagio? I'm a big Chihuly fan and I've been dying to see the ceiling there. Some of his pieces were recently featured at the Eteljorg Museum in Indy, but I missed his garden installation in Chicago.

Here's his Web site, but you really have to see his pieces up close to appreciate it:

15. I was pretty stunned...
...not so much for the thumbs up, but the people who actually stopped to ask questions.

That's the cool part.

6. right on
I bought my girlfriend the Infamous "Not My President" shirt last year. She's been getting a lot more thumbs up lately. We used to get alot of dirty looks. Mostly old cons,soccer moms and military. I'm in the military and I love the right to free speech. In a year I will have my free speech back.:7

7. Bush really screwed Nevada
Edited on Mon Jul-21-03 07:09 PM by JackSwift
on the Yucca Mountain waste dump and they might remember it. If they do, we don't need Florida.

16. I think they will.
Yucca Mountain is a big deal. Here's hoping the Dem candidate reminds them of how they got screwed.

17. Cool deal!
I was a bit nervous wearing it.

It was cool when people across the casino shops yelled out "Anyone but Bush? Damn straight!"

:hi: PP!
