Make levees, not war

It was something I've been thinking about doing for months. Everytime I saw some another car with a "W" sticker on it, though, I felt like I had to demonstrate my continued pride in the way I voted in 2004.

My thinking was, I'll take my bumper sticker off when everyone else admits the mistake they made, and removes theirs. It does raise an interesting question that a friend Nick once suggested: When should one remove their Bush/Cheney, or Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers, and what's the point of leaving them on.

Well, it just happened this past weekend. I saw Kerry on one of the Sunday talking head shows, and I decided he was no longer my candidate. I'd moved on, and other issues have now eclipsed the election (like impeaching Bush, and getting resources to New Orleans).





Yes, that thing in the pickup bed is a little Noah's ark I picked up in the street in the Lower Ninth Ward.

Tara -- I feel your pain.

I love the 'F' sticker. There's also the 'M: Moron' sticker. Yep, the rapture sticker made me laugh too. Nice.

I'm with you. I get exhausted every time I see one of those damned stickers (can you say "sore winners"?).
