Soul searching...

With everything going on in the world currently, it has made me stop and examine my life and start asking myself the tough questions.  I got to tell you, I am stuck on this one.  Am I, or am I not a bumper sticker person?  I have spent way more time than I would like to admit to searching the internet for the right bumper sticker to express my take on things.  The searching left me even more disheartened by the state of things...  I finally gave up on finding the perfect smart and funny sloan and went down to our local political party headquarters, made my $2 donation, and walked away with the generic party sticker.  I can't make myself stick it to my bumper.  I entertain myself while driving by making fun of bumper sticker people.  I like to retort all their sayings with my own in your face comebacks from the privacy of my own car.  In general, they tend to fall into two categories, one bumper sticker people (note to those people:  Kerry/Edwards are no longer in the running) and plaster the whole back-side of their car with bumper stickers people.  Getting behind the right person (usually a left person) can bring a whole commutes worth of laughs.  So, I don't know if I can set myself up to be the subject of other drivers private jokes.  Even worse, just think what could happen if I ended up in front of one of those plastered people... So until I can answer this question, I guess my bumper sticker make a statement from my glove box.

Loved this post! LOL

I have the same thing with license plate covers. I find them especially entertaining and revealing. I often shake my head and wonder how someone got to the point of putting "Recycle yourself--be an organ donor!" on their license plate cover.

One of my favorite bumper sticker stories is the time Jon put a Redskins bumper sticker on the back of dad's bronco parked at Nucor. Dad brought it up at dinner with a classic comeback. (it's late so I can't remember it but it was So funny!)

HAHA! You crack me up! I actually keep doing the exact same thing. I get all excited about the bumper stickers and then McCain does or says something MORONIC and I worry I would be embarrassed by the sticker if I'd had it that day... I really am going to get the "No Socialism" one eventually. Argue with THAT, you liberal weenies!

Hmmm, now you're making me think about an issue I've never thought about before! Can't even remember the last time I saw a bumper sticker... Here in Small Town, Utah (St. George), they don't do them so much--but they do do lawn posters. The only ones you see, though, are for Obama (from dare-devil democrat rebels) because the Republican ticket is a given... What you see here are the family vans with stick figures in the rear window representing each family member and pet--usually a dog peeing... Just not all that funny in my opinion...
