With 91% of Washington D.C. voters having opposed Bush, and a tremendous national groundswell building against him and his constituents, this could be pretty big.

I would love to see Bush finally see just how many people cannot abide what he stands for. He has always had a severe intolerance for protest--just ask the people he had arrested for protesting on the grounds of the Capitol building in Austin. His public appearances during his campaign were very carefully controlled, with protesters kept far away from his various rallies and speech sites.
This will be much harder to control, and potentially a serious problem, including the possibility of mass arrests if things get out of hand. I would not be surprised if this could be the beginning of an era of protest and civil disturbance rivalling that which took place during the Vietnam Era.






is a laugh-a-riot event with equal emphasis on both "laugh" and "riot." Focusing on pranks vs. corporations and government institutions. If George W. Bush makes you puke and you dig pie fights with cops, riot footage, and culture jamming, you'll love the punk rock urgency of the Lost Film Fest and its celebration of illegal art. You've seen the US-centric Fahrenheit 911, now it's time to check out something that's more global in scope.
