ON A WING AND A PRAYER

I can't find this logo on the actual campaign website, but I did get it in an e-mailed press release at work earlier this week:


To do something I've never done before and never plan to do again, i.e. quote an old tampon commercial... Wings aren't funny — they're fabulous.

I really did plan to switch my registration from Oregon to the District after 2004, but I dunno... now I think I may just keep it.

UPDATE — I haven't often moved commentary for the comments up to the post, and most readers will have already seen this, and yes, it was written days ago, but a) it's good and b) as we all know, Haloscan will delete comments after a given period. So here's Danimal, an Atkinson himself, but not related to the Jason Atkinson of the campaign in question:

Atkinson has run for Congress a lot. Loses. We stole a campaign sign. He just don't know how to quit, it seems.

The wings are a funny move, but they're only part of a larger problem. I think they and the "A" are lifted straight from a 60-year-old Amoco logo. The design, the color scheme, the font -- it all just screams "New Deal" and "Farm Bureau" and "Better Living Through Science." So un-2006.

I can't disagree with that. And even if you do, Haloscan's going to disappear it before long anyway.
