Slog - Comments on 2008 Republican National Convention Logo http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/2008_republican_national_convention_logo Uh... check this thing out... That's not a logo, it's a cry for help from the GOP's deeply disturbed collective subconscious. Kos breaks it down... Wide stance? Check. In Minneapolis? Check. Prison stripe-wearing? Check. Starry eyed? Check. As for the elephant humping the "2008"... Are they going for a "Still screwing the country in 2008" theme, or is it a reference to hypocritical adulterers like David Vitter and just about the entire Republican presidential field? All of the above? Check! I didn't read the elephant as humping that poor, defenseless "2008." Instead I read the "2008" as the elephant's big,...

Well, at least until the republicans swarm it. The last time we had so many suburbans down here aside from hockey games was the 'charming' Focus on Family ralley. Probably the last thing you could protest and not get arrested for in these cities.
