(in another post-resistance is futile- that the fool was kind enough to post for me,)

This is my idea for a new post card, I was thinking of creating a whole line of bush post cards. The front could be some sort of silly picture, photoshopped of course, and the back could have some sort of funny quote from him.

My personal favorite is when Bush was speaking about the environment and he said,

"it is my hope that americans and fish,... americans and fish can live in peace."

As promised here are some examples of satirical postcards that use a variety of visual techniques to make their point. From:

Leeds Postcards

Syracuse Cultural Workers

I would direct you here too.

Call for postcard art from NY, USA publisher.

Local graffiti, snapped just before it was over-painted and imortalised on postcard.

Blurb from catalogue; "This plays on the classic 1968 Vietnam War photograph of a South Vietnamese police chief about to shoot a bound Viet Cong prisoner in the head. The photograph became a symbol of the war's casual misuse of power and its brutality."

Best of luck Ender. I have a passion for postcard format satire. This list while too long is by no means exhaustive. Can you post any stuff you've found?

Meant to say as well, you should change the title of this thread to...

'Resistance is Fertile'

Can you guess where I read that?

No, where?
