500 Days
To mark this special occasion, I have written my own lyrics to the song "500 Miles." Massive apologies in advance to Hedy West (who wrote the original song) and to Peter, Paul, and Mary fans everywhere.
Anti-War Slogan Contest Winners
Once again, there was a flood of excellent entries, making it extremely difficult to pick winners out of the field.
As always, winners receive absolutely nothing, other than bragging rights. A big thanks to everyone who entered, and without further ado, here are the top three winners in each of the following categories: Best Chant, Best Anti-Bush Slogan, Best Slogan To Influence Middle America, Best Slogan To Influence Congress, Funniest Slogan, Most Subtle Slogan, and Best Obscure Reference.
At the end, five awards for Most Profane / Tasteless (because of overwhelming interest in the category), and my five picks for Best Overall Slogan.

Even in red states.
Bumpersticker Slogan Contest (Winners)
The results were overwhelming. In one day there were almost 150 posts. Narrowing these down to a list of winners was extremely hard, due to the fact that almost all the entries were excellent.
The only thing about the contest which disappointed me was there was absolutely no blatant attempts to bribe the judge. Oh, well... maybe next time.
