As I said on a thread earlier this week, my favorite bumper sticker: "I love cats. They taste just like chicken." Which side of the spectrum does that put me on?

I have never wanted a bumpersticker on my car. But that has recently changed. My Bumperstick of choice...

"HANG UP AND DRIVE!"

I have two.
One reads: "To hell with world peace, visualize hanging up the damn phone!"

The other one reads: "What part of GET OFF MY A$$ don't you understand?"
That one is for all those idiots out there that insist on climbing up my tailpipe even though I'm doing 65 in a 55 zone.

What part of "mentally-challenged slower traffic keep right" don't you understand?

The bumper sticker for which I'd bend my no-bumper-stickers policy is:

Harsher Sentences For Parole Violators!
(and World Peace)

(from Sandra Bullock's movie Miss Congeniality, of course.)

Then there's the sticker that reads "No War in Iraq!" Isn't it a little late for that one? Take it off your car, you noodleheads! The war is a done deal. Live with it.

Judging from the Civil War threads here, fat chance of that.

And where exactly did you get the impression I wasn't already in the right hand lane????

But then again, your tag line explains everything.

My Suburban sports a hand made laminated sign that says

HOLD LIBERALS ACCOUNTABLE

Around here, I get a lot of thumbs up. In places like Seattle, I'd most likely get a different digit. :et them hate, so long as they fear.

Around here, the vast majority of bumper stickers are of the liberal persuasion. I like that these folks identify themselves. Makes it easier to spot and steer clear of the nuts.
