The Staton Jones Report

In a very clever move (unless you saw the end of the movie Dick), GOP protestors are painting huge "Re-defeat Bush" and other anti-GOP slogans on rooftops in NYC on known flightpaths into the major airports.

"We just hope that they'll look down and ask themselves, 'Why, why do they feel so strongly? Why is it that New York feels this way?'" said Genevieve Christy, who has painted more than 80 banners since thinking of the idea a few weeks ago.

The movement is so popular in her neighborhood that Christy, a 57-year-old consultant, is putting orders on a waiting list. She even brought supplies with her on vacation so she could keep working.

The banners and signs, Christy said, are a form of safe, silent protest that many New Yorkers prefer over the dozens of rallies planned throughout the week of the convention.

This is a very clever and effective idea that doesn't get anyone tear gassed (or worse). I just hope the drunken GOP delegates look out the windows of their American Airlines jets on their way in. They'll probably get a flyer telling them to shutter the windows, put a pillow in their lap and bend over on approach to NYC.
