The following are among the better protest signs seen at a recent Washington demonstration: A picture of Bush saying, “Why should I care what the American people think? They didn’t vote for me.” “1,000 points of light and one dim bulb.” “HEADLINE: Drunken frat boy drives country into ditch.” “Bush is proof that empty warheads can be dangerous.” “Frodo has failed. Bush has the ring.”
