teabagging it

Here's a great idea (yeah!) let's tea bag our bills (get your mind out of the gutter). That's what thousands of customers in Illinois did to protest the increase in electricity rates by as much as 55% starting next year. Thousands of bills were mailed to ComEd and Ameren with tea bags inside. Who's the creative "genius" behind this ploy? Lt. Gov Pat Quinn. What they should have mailed with their bills are those glitter confetti shapes. Those things go everywhere and are a pain in the ass to clean up. I think that would have made a much bigger statement. But, hey, that's only me.

peace,

paul
