I was in a parking lot yesterday
and the only parking space was next to this huge gas guzzling pickup.
The truck was PLASTERED with "W" stickers (the funniest one being something along the lines of bringing ethics back to the White House :rofl:).
ANYWAY...I park with my litte gas guzzler jeep next to him and my car plastered with my liberal stickers.
There used to be a day when that truck would piss me off.
However, for some reason, it just made me laugh.
A guy in another car saw me laughing and started laughing too. It seemed he was in on the joke.
I mean, WHO in their right mind would be stupid enough to believe any of the crap that was plastered on that truck?
Then it dawned on me.
The knuckle-dragging 32%.

1. Even though these gas prices suck
I have been laughing almost every day at the thought of all these idiots who voted for george and now are getting slammed at the pumps..LOL. People I know who voted for the idiot have been bitching and it just makes me laugh. I can't help myself.

2. I saw a car yesterday that made me laugh, for the first time also.
It wasn't a gas guzzler, rather a new compact car. On the back of the car was a LARGE W that looked like an American flag (this is something I had not seen before). The driver also had one of those flag holders that you put on your car window with an oversized American flag blowing in the wind. It seemed so desparate that I burst out laughing instead of being pissed off for the rest of the drive to work. I've never been able to laugh before, so I'm taking this as a good sign. I wonder how he felt when he blasted past my car with six anti-* stickers on the back, plus my DU sticker?

3. Funniest sight around here was a 1967 caddy, rusted,the falling apart
burning oil with W will make america stronger stickers and how W was going to make everything better for the working man. Yes he had his over sized american flag a fluttering and support the troops ribbons. I thought it showed exactly what shrub stands for, the decay of america.

5. Yesterday, I saw an old boat of a Cadillac, so rusted out that the B*sh...
...stickers were probably the only things holding it together. Oh, the irony.

22. oh my
another blond beauty! Peyton is lovely- she looks tall and graceful. Is she a dancer?

Thanks! Ava is VERY shy around groups of people, though pre-school is helping a bit. BUT... at home she is a chatterbox (non-stop, a performer with a great sense of humor.) She's REALLY sensitive- very self-conscious for a 3 year old.

23. Peyton Is 48 Inches Tall & A Swimmer
I taught her to swim in the ocean when she was one. We lived in the Middle East and went to the beach EVERY Day! Her Dad is 6-4 & I am 5-9. She is going to be a world class swimmer!

24. and a world-class beauty!
That's great that you taught her to swim at such a tender age... Ava doesn't know how yet, but I want to enroll her in a class this summer. I was hoping her Dad could take her- since I spend much more time with her, it would be nice for them to share an activity together.

All the best to you and your family, Binka!

7. The 32 percent who would
gouge out their own eyeballs with a rusted spoon rather than acknowledge that Bill Clinton did more good for this country in two terms than George W. Bush ever could do in his lifetime . . .

9. You could also laugh at how much money he's spending on gas
I have a feeling more people will be laughing at those type of stickers from now on--if they're not crying.

10. Someone suggested this the other day and I did it. Funny.
I was in the grocery store parking lot and a woman approached her car with a 'W' sticker on it. I shook my head and said "Gee, I'm sorry, but it looks like someone vandalized your car. They put a Bush sticker on it".

She kind of reeled and said "I did that".

Me: "You did? On purpose? Wow."

Walked away. Had on my DU shirt too. Pretty funny.

11. High gas prices are the really big test, it seems.
I went to the gas station with one of my buddies--who is one of the most sane GOP guys I know --and I watched him put gas into his pick up truck. He was SO pissed at the gas prices, he was absolutely railing about the asswipe in the WhiteHouse.

You have to know that this guy admitted a long time ago that he really can't stomach what is going on in this country and he feels that this is not the real GOP in charge.

I respect him even if I don't agree with him on the issues, and I feel for him. He's been disenfranchised by some of his own party--just like I have been by local Democrats that have abandoned Labor and allowed a harassing abuser of women to stay in office (because he's a Democrat.)

Nobody likes these huge profits for big oil--Dem or GOP--only the corporations like what is happening.

12. I was driving on the freeway yesterday and had two young men
beep their horn at me and hold up a cardboard sign that said "Support your country. Idiot!!" in response to my "Bush keeps lying, People keep dying" and "Bush ain't no Christian" bumperstickers. I guess they equate Bush with their country.

It made me really sad, but this IS conservative southern California, after all...wonder why they aren't in Iraq??
