Need advice re: our current police state

[Neecy]

My brother-in-law's birthday is next week, and we're having a big family get-together for it (we're all Democrats). I wanted to do something fun for it, so I printed a bunch of photos of Bush - disgusting - then made drawings from them to get a sense of scale of his features.

Then I made a pinata of him from my drawings, painted it, and it looks just like him. For fun I embedded a sound chip in it so every time it's whacked his head makes a whooping monkey sound.

I was going to leave it empty, to symbolize his empty head, but then decided to fill it with symbols of greed, warmongering and incompetence. That's all done and it's ready for the show.

Unfortunately, my sister has turned paranoid and is afraid that if any neighbors see us they can turn us in to the feds. My feeling is that it's just a party toy and I'd never advocate hitting anyone in real life with a stick regardless of crimes against humanity.

Have we just become totally cowed to our soviet-style democracy that we can't hit a Bush pinata for fear of a visit from The Man? Or is her fear justified? Now I'm not sure what to do with it.
