On Friday, a couple friends and I launched
Pretzels for the Prez as a satirical outlet for the disgruntled masses to send President Bush pretzels by Jan. 20 as Inauguration Day "gifts."
The idea is two-fold:
a) Play off Bush's infamous pretzel choking incident for some good-natured fun with Dubya
b) Raise money to donate to Verified Voting.org
Please check it out and let me know what you think. Also, feel free to pass it along (hint-hint). We're operating on a shoestring (my shoestring) and hope we can raise enough to actually pay for some blogads. Also, if anyone has any PR ideas or connections, I'm all ears and my email is in my user profile.
If things go well, we might form a non-profit to continue the project as well as work on other similar projects in the future.
One related thought: I had misgivings about posting what really amounts to a plug for my non-commercial website and that gave me an idea - what about having a place in the dKosopedia for plugging ventures like this and, say, BuyBlue.org? Things that aren't blogs but also aren't large organizations like Move On. What do you think about that?
