I've been getting a lot comments at work about the bumper stickers on my car
I've got an Obama sticker, a Progressive Patriot sticker and a couple other lefty sort of stickers on the back of my car. I've gotten a couple comments (all positive) from coworkers in the parking lot at work but yesterday one of my coworkers told me she had asked whose car it was and she sought me out specifically to tell me she was excited to have "another one of us" at work and she told me that there are several liberals on staff. Yay!

1. That's great to hear.
It's one thing anybody can do, to make a small, positive statement.

With the media Noise Machine coming out with lie after lie, and distortions piling up on top of the previous day's questionable polling methodologies, every little bit helps.

It's probably best that you don't have any bumper stickers that are too negative, or nasty right back.

...A couple of years ago, after I drew up my own blood-for-oil sticker design, I had a lot of headlight flashes, and got into several car-to-car dogfights, with fist-shaking wingnuts driving full-sized sedans and pickups.



I thought it might be a way to make people think but it wasn't worth the aggravation, or putting my passengers at risk.

I saw an Obama one at work the other day. I want to leave a note on their car, but they're always gone by the time I leave!

Grrr....

3. Good for you!
If I tried that at work, I'd probably get blacklisted.
