Rejected PolitiCorps '07 slogans

Here at the Bus Project, we do NOT fuck around with slogans. What you're about to read is a sample of the rejected slogans for next summer's PolitiCorps program. PolitiCorps is one of the flagship programs of the Bus Project. It is a summer fellowship and a political leadership school where college students and recent graduates split their time between classes and political organizing. The fellows work campaign-style hours and for many, it's a first-time plunge into the real and often grueling work that comes with an election season. Without further ado, we present you with the list of rejects...

  • PolitiCorps 2007: The dumb and boring need not apply
  • PolitiCorps 2007: A coalition of the young and willing
  • PolitiCorps 2007: A coalition of the young and marginally attractive
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Highly-paid summer vacation
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Highly-paid winter vacation (psst, it's actually in the summer)
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Aborting political apathy
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Burning the flag of apathy
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Lighting a fire under the ass of democracy
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Not just a school of fish navigating the waters of democracy
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Enforcing democracy with an iron fist
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Not like stuff you don't like
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Driving leaders through the amber fields of public service
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Probing for leaders
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Choose your own adventure
  • PolitiCorps 2007: An army of several
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Drawing a line in the sand against Apathy Hussein
  • PolitiCorps 2007: The Bus is coming, but not in a dirty way.
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Training the Padawan for the Jedi of tomorrow (Low-Midichlorians need not apply). Awesome.
  • PolitiCorps 2007: Riding the steed of democracy bareback with the chaps of the public interest (not in a dirty way).
Vote for your favorite, or suggest your own. Thwack!

Starting every entry with the same line does not exactly make me want to read your blog.

And yet, like watching Steven Seagal torture terrorists in the true spirit of American movie culture, here you still are, unable to tear yourself away.

Mr and/or Ms 750am, signing your comment with "Anonymous" doesn't exactly make me want to read your comment. Try again next time! Snakes on a bus, foolio!

PolitiCorps 2007: Not exactly a grab your ankles kind of bootcamp... but close.
PolitiCorps 2007: More fun, educational and inspirational than a summer of Oprah reruns.
