Today I was shopping for birthday cards and came across one (from Recycled Paper Products, I think) that said on the front: "President Barack Obama" and has his picture below it. Inside it said something like "See? There is something scarier than having another birthday."
I wanted to toss the bunch of them on the floor and shout "cleanup on aisle five" but settled for flipping them backwards, hiding them but not damaging them. Less satisfying, but maybe it makes a better statement in the long run.

Would you approve of someone hiding the anti-repub cards?

(9,951 posts)Childish or you would approve of someone hiding anti-repub cards?
Or yup, you like making an employee's job harder?

(19,847 posts)And I approve of making non-destructive political statements, even ones that might take some employee an extra five seconds to correct while they're tidying up the rest of the cards.
