:applause: THANK YOU CHICAGA!

[Monkeyman]

1. Keep tell ya don't mess with Chicago Bush

[bananarepublican]

55. Chicago should not cast dispersions upon the innocent 'sacks of shit'...

... who are unable to lie, or indeed, defend themselves.

[Kurovski]

90. Don't you mean "cast asparagus"?

[lonestarnot]

108. casting cat turds ok until we impeach.

[Kurovski]

113. Chicago Bush is the most dangerous.

[lonestarnot]

122. Chicago rocks and kicks ass!

I plan to go there one day.

[Kurovski]

128. I actually grew up in the area known as The Bush, near steel mills.

You will love Chicago.

[lonestarnot]

129. I know someone who rode in the bush.

Sounds funny hugh? But what I mean is just that.

[BuyingThyme]

2. Wow!

[Kelly Rupert]

3. LOL where is that?

I might have to go out and take a gander if it's close.

[boston bean]

4. Let me be the first to recommend! Wonderful!!! nt

[Dinger]

Damn, That Makes Me Get All Misty. Wish I Was There : ( (nt)

[Kurovski]

130. I never dreamed that the Magickist sign would be replaced

by signs like these. It's great to see.

What an era...

Impeach, indict, imprison.

[live love laugh]

5. I saw this one Saturday in Chicaga...

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

54. Let me sharpen that up for you

Don't forget to save - I clean out files from time to time...

[ThatsMyBarack]

88. I pass that sign on the Kennedy quite often.

There's also a WCPT sign that says, "Support Our Troops. Bring Them Home."

[live love laugh]

95. Very nice. Thanks. nt

[lligrd]

6. Nice

Now that would make my morning commute worthwhile.

[frogcycle]

58. WCPT is a godsend

i didn't see that ad, but I endure my commute morning and night by riding with Stephanie Miller and Tom Hartman.

WCPT has a limited license - had to go off the air at sundown in the winter - drove me crazy - they'd just cut in to the Hartman feed and say "at this time WCPT ends its broadcast day" Grrrrr
They're just a couple of years old

I wish they had some sponsors I could support - they seem to have a wierd grabbag of clients that I'm just not in the market - but I'll do what i can - they even ask you to write the sponsors and thank them, even if you don't buy something :)

[HCE SuiGeneris]

7. Now that is a sight for sore eyes!

K & R

[Webster Green]

8. That's a really good one....cuts to the chase quite nicely!

I gotta do one of those things!

[lonestarnot]

14. Son says,

"I mean, they can't get around that message." Heh very bright child indeed.

[Dinger]

9. Glad To Give This The 5th Rec!

Honored actually:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Very funny, but who will explain it to Bush?

He's not too bright.

[BeHereNow]

11. Recommended! GO Chicago!

That is the most beautiful thing I have seen all day.
Thanks for sharing it.

BHN.

[malaise]

12. Sweet

This is beautiful :D

[Kurovski]

131. Sweet Home Chicago.

[donco6]

13. BWA-HA-HA!

That's just fantastic. Way to go Chicago!

[Gold Metal Flake]

15. Ah, that's nice!

I wonder how long it was up? Fantastic effort! It's also well made, easy to read.

[nam78_two]

16. Woah! Where is that, do you know?

I am visiting Chicago in a couple of weeks-I would love to take a picture of that :).
Awesome!

[lonestarnot]

17. It can be anywhere USA. All you need is cardboard, a painting tool, paint, and a

mechanism for hanging.

[Monkeyman]

18. You talking about signs or Bush Lol

[lonestarnot]

21. Signs.

[mopinko]

35. looks like lsd, near south side.

lake shore drive. looks like about 30something-th, right after mc cormick place. it'll be gone by the time you get here, but who knows. they do crop up regularly.

[lonestarnot]

126. .

[karlrschneider]

19. WHEE! I haven't missed my birth state for 50 years.

But I'd love to see that in person!

:bounce: :D

[stanwyck]

29. Really? I miss Illinois every single day

but maybe that's because I live in Georgia now, the reddest of the red states.

[ekelly]

37. I miss Illinois too..........

Grew up just north of the city and now I live in Texas....ugh!

[stanwyck]

70. From the prairie

downstate. Watseka. My family finds it hilarious when we go back and I gasp "It's SO beautiful." And they're looking out the window at totally flat land, no trees, and row after row of soybeans. Ah, the prairie. Where you can watch your dog run away for three days.

[Kurovski]

114. I miss Chicago too.

But the ocean is an ok trade--I guess--even if I still sometimes call it "the lake" :-)

[Skittles]

50. same here

I have lived in Texas over 30 years but if anyone asks me where I'm from I tell them my native state - Illinois :)

[stanwyck]

72. If I lived in Texas, I'd probably

say the same. Although, Georgia is hardly any better. Zell Miller. Newt Gingrich. John Linder. Bob Barr. Sonny Perdue. Saxby Chambliss. And my favorite, Lynn Westmoreland -- the guy who wanted the Ten Commandments displayed in public buildings, only he could only name three when asked. I guess that's why he needs them displayed everywhere.
I feel your pain.

As an expat, I say... don't fuck with Chi-town. :woohoo:

[Gregorian]

22. I see irony.

I totally agree. But, we are enabling him. Him, being his machine.

Here is a hint: if those cars were bikes, Bush wouldn't be Bush.

I know, I'm off topic. I've made a comment that puts the blame in your court. My court. Who can live in a modern society without being a hypocrite?

But it's a fantastic banner.

[Canuckistanian]

27. As long as you're not part of his agenda

You've got nothing to worry about.

Start from there.

[Gregorian]

41. I try. But I am also part of the problem. Just not as flagrant.

I'm a magnitude below most. It's amazing to be living amongst the people again. For years I lived out in the country. Every week these people fill garbage bins. It's amazing. I fill a garbage can every six months. So yes, I am part of the problem.

Living in a modern society, we're all hypocrites. But like anything, it's to what degree.

And I disagree with nothing to worry about. I do worry. I'm watching, and I am appalled by what I see. That's why I lived in the country. I didn't want to see this crap EVERY day. Again, hypocrisy. I'm not stupid, and I'm not a liar. But I don't see many people trying. At least I'm trying. For what that's worth.

[Canuckistanian]

42. You're right

We are all hypocrites. The only difference is in the degree of hypocrisy.

I've been trying to reconcile that point for years.

But I still have difficulties dealing with it.

I keep thinking, "things will get better". They never do.

At least not on a fundamental level.

[mopinko]

33. hey, chicago is a lot greener than most.

you don't see the bikes, because they are on the bike path, a few feet away, along our glorious lake front. there are bike racks on the buses, bike cars on the trains, bike racks, bike lanes, bike paths, all over town. plus, we have a decent public transit system that is used by hundreds of thousands every day.
i could go on. we are working hard here.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

23. Rock on, Chi-town!

Sure wish the sack-o-shit could see this . . .

[bdamomma]

30. it would be great to see more signs like this pop up everywhere.

[lonestarnot]

31. Yes it would! I'm still waiting!

[Not Sure]

32. Try these for those chain link fences

on overpasses:

http://www.putincups.com/

These things make all kinds of signs around the DFW metrosprawl, and one of those would look great on my morning commute!

[lonestarnot]

36. They take too long.

[karlrschneider]

38. Cool idea but $4 a square foot?

EEEEEEEEEEEEK

:eyes:

[Octafish]

39. Economy version: regular styrofoam cups inserted in chain link fences can spell out messages.

one up here where I live!!!

[cargs]

57. Hello, I was one of the people who posted this banner!

Hi, I was one of the (2) people who put up this banner in Chicago. Thanks for your supportive comments. We used a roll of cheap plastic white tablecloth, available at party supply stores or websites. Using a Sharpie I traced out the letters with a digital projector (you can also use an overhead or slide projector) using Adobe Illustrator (Word or Wordpad is fine too). I tacked and untacked the roll to the wall as I moved down the roll. After tracing, I rolled it up and took it to my comrade's house. There, we laid it out on his very long driveway, held down edges of the plastic with a few rocks and painted the letters in quickly with cheap red latex paint. Don't spend too much time being perfect with the letters, because from 10-20 feet, nobody can detect those imperfections. Then we duct-taped some pieces of wire to the edges: on the corners and about every 8 feet or so. All in all, it took about 2 hours to create(results may vary). At the pedestrian overpass at Bryn Mawr over I-90 (inbound to Chicago loop at rush hour) my comrade unrolled as I fastened the wires to the chain link fence. Once unrolled, we went back and further secured the sign from the wind by stretching duct tape from the top to the bottom about every 4 feet (if you look closely at the pic you can see it through the light plastic). It took about 3-5 minutes to set up with two people, but I recommend 3. If it had not been for Illinois Dept of Transportation clean up guys seeing it so quickly, it could have stayed up for a lot longer. While we were putting it up, the supportive honks from the hundreds of cars passing by was DEAFENING! It was so visible, that people in the opposite 4 lanes were honking as they read it in their rear-view mirrors. Try this at home kids! Thanks again for posting your comments of support!

[ecstatic]

59. wow! Great job!

Hope it stays up for a while! Based on what you explained, I could help put a banner together but I would be too scared to actually tape it up. LOL. :scared:

[truedelphi]

61. The supportive honks were deafening. Wow!

Thank you for a great start to my day!

It was up less than 15 minutes before an IDOT cleanup crew spotted it.

109. Outstanding cargs, made my day

my week, my month, my year...knowing folks like you are out there getting the message out. And that the folks seeing your message are responding in the positive!

Keep it up, keep inspiring us all and we can get this thing back, the Constitution that is.

Next time you are in the Seattle area I buy you a beer (or the drink of your choice)!

:toast:

[Scout1071]

111. Awesome!

I might suggest cutting some small slits throughout the banner next time, so the wind will pass thru, rather than just resist. I'd make them about 4-6" per slit so they won't be visible from a distance, but still effective.

[Kurovski]

117. You are loved, baby!

This msg brought to you by Hills Brothers Coffee.

This was done much earlier. The letters were painted on freehand, without having traced it with a projector. The message is pretty clear regardless.

I remember driving home thru Chicago and seeing 3 helicopters flying towards O'Hare. I knew Bush had to be on one of them or was being picked up.

[Xenotime]

134. Wonderful.
