If you can't beat 'em, slap your name all over 'em

"In an effort to bring democracy to our nation's capital, a group of DC-based activists announced that it had raised $20,000 in pledges to purchase the naming rights for RFK Stadium and rename it 'Taxation Without Representation Field at RFK Stadium.' The effort, launched just one week ago at www.TaxationWithoutRepresentationStadium.com, announced a new, stepped up goal of $51,000 by April 14th, the home opener for the Nationals." You can learn more and contribute here.

I'll leave it to you to decide whether this is the best use of $51,000 raised for DC voting rights, but it would definitely be hilarious to listen to baseball commentators say things like, "It's a beautiful day here at Taxation Without Representation Field here in Washington, DC." Lots of opportunity for color commentary.
