I Retired My Kerry/Edwards Sticker Today

Here in South Texas I pass a dozen or more Bush/Cheney '04...or W'04 stickers on my 35-minute commute to work every day. I passed an otherwise dignified-looking older lady the other day that made me feel oh-so-slightly pathological:
Osama is Kerry's man
Bush is my man
Something tells me that her admiration for him had more to do with how he looks in jeans than how he's gonna look in stripes after Lady Justice has her way with him.

But the sticker that offends me the most, beyond all the hokey stupid idiotic short-sighted ignorant misguided foolish stickers...is the one that's square and jet black:
W
The President
The layout is simple and (attemptedly) classy in understated elegance. Problem is, lipstick on a pig still leaves you with just a made-up porker. And that President they're referencing is
W
Dub-ya.

There's nothing classy about anything he's done since becoming President. There is in fact a very good case to be made that he's systematically destroying those things which--not just me,--but most Americans hold in high regard about their country. To me that bumper sticker is the most eloquently symbolic of the difference between what is said, and what is done by this administration. Looks like class, but it actually represents a ruthless gutting of what makes this country great.

So in the 9 months since Kerry/Edwards "lost"--gosh, I think they lost--I've kept my Kerry/Edwards sticker there so that everyone whose eyes find the back of my truck see that I'm not just another supporter of
W
The President

But finally today I retired that ol' sticker. I pulled it off intact and retired it to the side of my file cabinet in the office. Along with Amnesty International, Orlando Recycles, Re-Defeat Bush, Howard Dean for President, it now has a more tranquil, out-to-pasture existence.

What did I put on that place where Kerry/Edwards was? Thought you'd never ask:
