TrueMajority.com's BEN COHEN of Vermont's Ben & Jerry's wicked ice cream fame visited Flagstaff with the www.pantsonfire.net 12 foot tall effigy of Gee-Dubya. The float featuring Shrub's pants on fire will be driven all around northern Arizona this week, and then head to Las Vegas for more public exposure. Ben Cohen met with Flagstaff locals and TrueMajority.com members to orient the drivers to the Crown Vic, the trailer and its foibles, to meet the local press, and to give out Peace Pops to all the curious neighbors who showed up to view the goings on.

Ben says you won't get too far without gas in the tank, as well as in the generator for Shrub's rear flames. Whew!

And what would a Pants On Fire event be without a good variety of Peace Pops for everyone who showed up at Greg & Joyce's house to meet Ben and see a 12-foot Shrub?
