Moving along briskly with this thread:
Colin Powell held a press conference in Washington, D.C., Friday, touting the launch of Barack Obama’s new Web site, USAService.org, which allows Americans to find — and to promote — local service opportunities that are searchable by zip code.
President Bush’s former secretary of state said he was on the site this morning and vouched for its usefulness.
But here’s betting that Powell didn’t have time to go through all of the events on it.
Wanting to see how the Web site works, I typed in my hometown zip code in Los Angeles to find events within a 10-mile radius.
It pointed me to several events, including a blood drive, a graffiti cleanup, and an “Obama Celebration and Bush Shoe Toss.”
The event, which was listed as a “Day of Service — January 19,” is taking place at the soon-to-open Carnivale Café on the corner of Vermont and Normal.
“Come celebrate with us,” wrote Gilbert Gazan, 46, in the event’s description. “Say goodbye to old Georgie … Throw a shoe at a poster of Bush and win a free drink.”
And then, from the reader comments:
Nice!
Bush deserves no less than feces to be thrown on him. If there is any justice in this world he will rot in prison.
Can you feel the love from our tolerant liberals? I’m all warm and fuzzy inside, let me tell you…
