Think of those little green houses and red hotels that come with the Monopoly game. You can order packages of these as "spare parts" directly from Hasbro, which is the manufacturer.
And you can have all kinds of fun with them.

UPDATE: this meme has wings, see below.
(I originally posted this as a comment, but someone suggested I turn it into a diary. OK, it's a diary!)
Go here:
http://www.hasbro.com/...
and you'll notice "Monopoly Deluxe: Pieces Pack" for $4.99. The direct link is here:
http://www.hasbro.com/...
The set comes with 28 little green houses, 12 little red hotels, and a set of the tokens you use to go around the board, and two dice. All for only $5. Spend $10 and order two packs so you have one to give to a friend.
Next, go to the RNC or any McCain event.
Leave them on tables and other places that will be noticed by the media. A house here, a house there, a hotel somewhere else.
Stick them to walls with a little loop of masking tape or a square of double-sided tape (that stuff is hard to remove, don't stick it to painted surfaces or wallpaper, only to glass and metal surfaces where it won't do damage).
Hand them out to anyone from the media you happen to encounter.
Hand them out to Republicans and see if you can start a conversation that might change their mind. Or if not, then it might make 'em blow their stack at you, which makes good television.
One more thing. Make a xerox copy of your Get Out of Jail Free card, on appropriate colored paper (or find one online somewhere) in case you get hassled by Security. "Sir, those aren't dangerous in any way, and besides, I have this." That'll be good for some laughs anyway. And as someone suggested when they saw this as a comment, this will also make good television.
By the way, someone needs to make a Monopoly game out of McCain's life.
McCainopoly.
Anyone up for it?

While we're on the subject, here are the other issues I think we need to hit McCain with, hard and often:
ADULTERY. Holy cow, folks! If there's one issue that ought to move religious conservatives and "values voters", this is the one. He dumped his injured wife to hitch up with a woman young enough to be his own daughter. That's not just immoral, it's downright "ewww!" Also it ought to move any voter who has ever had their own family wrecked by a cheater. Just ask someone who's been at the receiving end of that. Hell on earth.
And using his POW status as an excuse for that and other bad behavior, is downright dishonorable. Warriors take responsibility, weasels make excuses.
BEER HEIRESS: TEENAGE DRINKING. Cindy's company lobbied against MADD when MADD was attempting to get restrictions on alcohol beverages that contain caffein and other things to make them appeal to the younger crowd. Talk about setting a bad example, she may as well have been a dope fiend. Oh wait, she was a dope fiend!
THE DRAFT. Yeah that comment of his had plausible deniability, but if you were of draftable age (18 to 42) or were the parent or other loved one of someone of draftable age, would you want to take chances? Aside from which, the military does not want a draft, they want warriors who choose the profession voluntarily and want to stay onboard.
Would you want your spouse using him as an excuse to cheat?
Would you want your teenager using her as an excuse to drink?
And do you really want to take the chance he's serious about the draft?
Hit hard, hit often.
Oh yeah, one more thing. If he & Cindy get one more house, they can get two hotels.

UPDATE: Looks as if this meme is popping up independently all over the place. Check out the Florida Democratic Party video here:

They used a big red house with a bunch of little green Monopoly houses in the background and money fluttering around. Check it out.
