A Dirty Hippie » George W. Bush http://www.adirtyhippie.com Insightful ramblings from one dirty hippie Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:40:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 I got to throw a shoe at George Bush today http://www.adirtyhippie.com/i-got-to-throw-a-shoe-at-george-bush-today/ http://www.adirtyhippie.com/i-got-to-throw-a-shoe-at-george-bush-today/#comments Sun, 18 Jan 2009 06:03:30 +0000 admin http://www.adirtyhippie.com/?p=47 Well, in a figurative way at least.  I was heading to an interview at CBS Radio when I passed an action that the people at Direct Action To Stop The War had set up where they had a dunk tank sort of setup with a George Bush figure that you could throw shoes at.  How could I resist?  Especially after having been in costume protesting at the previous inauguration?  (And NO, they didn’t get our permission to publish that image.)

Anyway, with the first try I found out the holding onto a show at the sole (of a shoe with an extended sole) causes one to not release that show so easily.  The end result was throws that were way too low.  So I ended up taking a second change and knocked The Fuhrer square in the head on one of the two attempts.  VERY satisfying.  Although I would have been immensly MORE satisfied if hundreds of thousands (or is it in the millions now) of Iraqi women and children hadn’t died unnecessarily alongside thousands of US military.  (But screw the Blackwater security folks over there.)

The same antiwar activists will be setting up shop tomorrow in the same Justin Herman Plaza location tomorrow as well as at the Civic Center in San Francisco on Inauguration Day.  So if you’re in the area you might get some satisfaction in taking part.
