Army Men in the News

From the City Paper this week:

Bring 'Em Home ·
Just in case Vice President Dick Cheney didn't get the point from the protesters trying to congregate at Hibernian Hall where he spoke on St. Patrick's Day on Friday, Drinking Liberally (DL), a local lefty elbow-lifting club, is against the war. Teaming with several other local organizations like Charleston Peace, DL posted tiny green toy army men in odd spots throughout Charleston County last week. The soldiers had little signs pasted to them that read, "Bring Me Home." Nearly 8,000 little green men invaded stores, offices, and public places in James Island (Monday), N. Charleston (Tuesday), Mt. Pleasant (Wednesday), West Ashley (Thursday), and downtown (Friday). Unfortunately, the war rages on, no one shot Cheney in the face in a hunting "accident," and there were some complaints that the mouth-sized toys posed a swallowing risk for small children who could stumble across them. "We're not putting them in kids' mouths," said one DL member in defense.
