REUTERS/Rick Wilking U.S. President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan's vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.

Bush plucks while New Orleans sinks

Filed under: American Idle , American Idle

President Bush plays a guitar presented to him by country singer Mark Wills, right, backstage following his visit to Naval Base Coronado, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005. Bush visited the base to deliver remarks on V-J Commemoration Day. Meanwhile, a major U.S. city is under water, hundreds are dead, thousands are stranded, and damage to structures, many of historical significance, will run in the billions of dollars. Didn't think I could be more ashamed of the president. I was wrong.

A Gen. JC Christian contest: Blog Your Campus

Filed under: American Idle , American Idle

Thought I'd pass along this information about Gen. JC Christian's Operation Yellow Elephant Blog Your Campus contest. Here's the scoop from the general himself:

Many of you may be familiar with the Freeway Blogger's brilliant work. We'd like to see something similar happening at or near college campuses. To that end, Operation Yellow Elephant is holding a "Blog Your Campus" contest.

Description
Create signs relating to Operation Elephant's mission to expose the hypocrisy of hawkish College Republicans and other young conservatives who are too cowardly to fight in the war they demanded. Post these signs near roadways and pedestrian pathways on or near college campuses. Photograph your work and send it to me. I'll post them here. In early October, the OYE contributing Writers and the Freeway Blogger will pick a winner.

How to Make Your Sign
It's always a good idea to learn from the masters.

How to Win
Send us a photo featuring a sign with a great message and lots of people or cars traveling past it. If it generates press, it wouldn't hurt to send us a url or a clipping.

Grand Prizes

• One iPod Shuffle, 512Mb (Courtesy of Vaughn D. Taylor of Liberal Revolt)
• One Operation Yellow Elephant Tee-Shirt
• One Official USMC Tee-Shirt (Courtesy of OYE Contributer Karl)
• One Operation Yellow Elephant Bumper Sticker
• Ten Operation Yellow Elephant Buttons
• One Crooks and Liars Coffee Mug (Courtesy of Jamato of Crooks and Liars)

Second and Third Place Prizes

• Official USMC Tee-Shirt (Courtesy of OYE Contributer Karl)
• Liberal Revolt Sticker (Courtesy of Vaughn D. Taylor of Liberal Revolt)
• Operation Yellow Elephant Button

Rules
1. Signs must be placed near roadways or pedestrian pathways on or near campus.
2. Photos of the signs must demonstrate that the sign can be viewed by many people (people or cars in the foreground)
3. Submit your entries here no later than September 30, 2005.
4. Vaughn adds this: Make sure the sign really kicks ass, it's easy to see, and it's clear that it is not a fake. I'm a Photoshop master, so don't f&*k with me and you will get your musical device -- grasshopper. Perhaps take photos of the sign making process including the hanging of it?
