Should Bastille Day be our Pitchfork Day?
Edited on Fri Mar-20-09 12:06 PM by qwertyMike
July 14th, drenched in symbolism.

Could this be our "Pitchfork Day"

The timing is perfect: things should be well in a handbasket by then.
Mesdames LeFarge's: "Start Your Needles"

July 4th would be cool as well, but I do like guillotines so much.
I know, I'm sooo BAD!!!

2. Why wait for July 14 as an arbitrary albeit symbollic date?

3. To the barricades!
What will it take for Americans to rescue our economy from the relatively small band of hijackers?
A well-organized massive protest down Wall St. is much preferable, I would think, to dragging these bastards out by their hair.

4. I just hope it doesn't end up being our version of Freeper Teabagging Day.
Although I doubt anything could be that pathetic, IMHO.
