Not a bad idea.... not a bad idea at all.
Al Franken has recently proposed a different way for individuals to vent their dislike of Bush in a relatively safe and harmless way. He has suggested that citizens who want to voice their disapproval of the current president to open their windows as he approaches the podium to accept the nomination and shout 'Fuggedaboudit!' or whatever term of negation is popular in your region of the country.... and unlike a lot of the other protest techniques that are being advocated by some groups that are going to be in New York during the convention, the "Great American Shoutout" as it is being referred to would be short, cost and time efficient, not really disruptive to traffic, police services or any other essential service and would probably not really aid anything approaching terrorism.
It will probably amount to nothing, but when I read about it, it just seemed so logical... and ever so slightly annoying too, that it was worth talking about.
