Bumper Sticker of the Day
I saw this the other day, and am posting it because 1) I have been sadly remiss in posting Bumper Sticker of the Day shots, and 2) it's a reminder to vote Democrat! Or, for you borderline Socialists out there, vote anti-Republican!
In case you can't make it out, it reads:
God, Guns & Guts -- Let's Keep All 3.
I think they forgot Glory.
So yeah, vote smart, people. Go here, check out your candidates, check out the issues. Why yes, as a matter of fact, I will find a way to tie just about anything to the issue of keeping rightwing Mormongelical nutbags out of the White House. Thanks for noticing.
So the last few days have been sort of a Cowbell Unplugged deal, except without an album, screaming fans begging for my underwear, bright lights, or a guitar. To all of you who inquired, no, I am not literally hiding under my blankets until 2009. I admit, it felt pretty good, but then I had to emerge from my lair to watch the playoff games - which I do not want to talk about - and I do have to work for a living, so that's that. I don't think they would've approved paid vacation until 2009. I looked at our union contract, and "being sick and tired of all the bullshit" does not qualify for any type of mental health vacation. Figures.
In other news, I received all manner of wonderful emails and phone calls this week, which made shedding the blankets much better, playoff game notwithstanding. It seems that some of you heathens out there had some pretty choice words to offer regarding Asshat Driver and Officer Donuts. My goodness! And I thought I had a potty mouth. Impressive. Also, Batman appreciates the sympathy offered for his tooth as well. Sorry he doesn't do so well on the phone, but he did pant a bit, and wagged his tail, so there you go. I even got to speak with the always intriguing Al, of bluealto fame, which spilled over to the wee hours of the morning and involved laughing, ranting, and Joni Mitchell, so you can't get much better than that. Of course, it did bring me back to that eternal question, "Why do all the good ones have to be gay?" but whatever. Par for the course. (Come on ladies, you know what I'm talking about.) Anyway, you guys rock, I can't tell you how much this bevy of bloggers has come to mean to me. Also, Santa apparently has an elf over at Amazon. If you know of what I speak, email me. I love you.
In closing, I'll leave you with a quote from my mother, when she was the tender age of 8, in a note to my grandfather, which she still has to this day, and which has become a running family joke: "Vote or scat!"

We all get by with a little help from our friends dear, that's the entire point. Thought about you while we were watching the game and hoped it wasn't too traumatic. It'll get better, and you have this big ass Ohana now that really does care about you and yours, so it really will sort itself out soon enough. Hang in there sugar!
Egad... what sort of cretin puts this on their car???
And even though I happily scatted years ago, you can bet your ass I'll be voting this November. That said, I reserve the right to relinquish my citizenship if another republican lands in the oval office.
Doralong: Oh it was traumatic alright. I know everyone thinks Brett Favre is the greatest thing since disco, but I never could stomach him. Three teams I hate to lose to: The Stealers (yes I did spell it right), the Bears, and the Packers. Ugh. Oh, and the Cowboys, but li'l Eli Manning just showed them what for, didn't he? Ha! Thanks for the good words!
ET: Yes, I do miss the days of being far removed from it all. And universal health care. I miss that too.
I'm glad you're feeling a little better. :-)
I always vote.
Glad to see you're back! I was wondering if the game pushed you over the edge.
Don't you just want to take a rotary sander to cars with bumper stickers like that?
I'll be holding my nose and voting for whoever the Dems put up. At this point I don't like any of them too much.
Hey I think that is my Dad's car! Just kidding...his is white ..but with similar sticker. Just to let you know I was thinking about you...I was going to title my crappy weekend a "cowbell weekend" Not much went right...and you know I am not happy about the game. Still pouting!
Yeah about the gay thing, no one knows....I assumed it was understood you weren't supposed to tell. Not all of us are big, loud, angry queers, spreading the agenda.
Sorry I was channeling my inner Log Cabin Republican and got a little carried away. It was great talking to you as well, lengthy as it was! Though next time we have to give the dogs a chance to chat or I'll never hear the end of it!
You sound better or is that...read better? Oh...you know what I mean.
This year I vote that Brett Favre go home to Mississippi...forever! Our consolation prize was the Cowboy defeat, yippee-kay-ay!
My other vote will certainly be Democratic but I have to agree with the Ganome...I don't like any of them much either. Then again I'd rather have Hillary than Huckabee. And don't even get me started on McCane...and yes...I spelled that right!
It is true that all(most) all the good ones are gay. Suckage. Well, not for me personally but...whatever.
Hey, sorry about the Seahawks, not that I even knew they got into the playoffs (hi, call me the 14th man...I'm the one who shows up if we're in the Superbowl) but still, I know it hurts.
Oh, and yeah, where DID you see that bumper sticker? Because it's not like we have a ton of those running around these parts....
vote or scat...now I see where you get it from...
my favorite bumper sticker is mine...it says "we're the deciders"...a molly ivins quote..also have a black ribbon on my drivers side of the truck that says..
'enought with the ribbons'....so far no one has shot at me with one of those guns they're so fond of toting around in the bed of their trucks..
I just don't watch football all that much,but I smile a little every time the Denver Broncos get their ass kicked!..sorta like voting anti-republican.
Hey! It's nice to have you back! I always have to restrain myself from keying cars with bumper stickers like that. A neighbor has an "NRA" bumper sticker and one of these days i may have to sneak out with a sharpie and change it to "kill the NRA," or something.... Anyway, a girl can dream...
I'm a baseball girl, myself. Which means I'm a no sport girl for now, because our local team, the Pirates, suck.
It occurs to me that this "God, Guns, & Guts" bumper sticker is entirely illogical, Captain (little geeky Star Trek reference. Sorry.). If you really want to "keep" your guts, you really should stay far, far away from guns....
Whim: Me too. Both.
Evil-G: Yeah. Let's just not talk about the game, mmmkay? And when I see bumper stickers like that, I just want to ram them. Not like the cops would catch me, right?
Sageweb: A Cowbell Weekend, ha! Well I guess that's better than people going around saying "Don't Pull a Tony Romo!"
Al: Oh please, honey. All the ladies know that,. Basic Man Shopping 101. And if you have an Inner Log Cabin Republican, I'm arranging for an exorcist. Stat!
Rodger: McCane- ha! Nice turnover. Yeah, I'm really hoping Brett ends up watching the big bowl with a big bowl of popcorn.
Lorraine: The 14th Man -- ha! I choked a little on that one. That bumper sticker was on a van probably about 10 miles north of Seattle. I bet he lives near the guy with the Hitler quotes on his car. Yeah, you don't see many Wingnut stickers here. Unlike the midwest.
YDG: Yeah, my mom has a twisted sense of humor. Too bad she turned Republican. You're mighty brave sporting that black ribbon out in Bush Country.
Sling: Not a fan of all the pretty little ponies? They did better last year.
Elizabeth: Good point about the sticker. I still think "Glory" would've fit in there better, but that's probably just my zealous past creeping in.
I always want to cover Repub stickers with progressive stickers. Like the "Jesus Had 2 Daddies" one. I don't think I"d be able to live with myself though, knowing I'd probably caused an Evangelical to stroke out in the parking lot.
I do get very tempted to Sharpie snarky comments onto all those "W '04" stickers.
Nice to hear from you sugar. I won't say a thing about your c-hawks losing to a team that the BEARS beat often this year, nor about Al living in a log home. What I do want to say is that you are loved by those very same men who are always taken and that has to count for something, yes? I love the bumper sticker shots, especially the asshat ones. I have always wanted to purchase a bunch of those stickers that say: "No one Knows I'm Gay!", and apply them to all cars that sport an evangelical or right wing bumper sticker. As for politics? I am already growing weary of sound bite sniping, and hope that the dems can get their shit together and put an end to politics as usual postering. I, too will be holding my nose and voting dem. I am so happy that all your bad luck hit in one fell swoop, cause that means the rest of the year is all smooth sailing (knocks on wood with fingers crossed while tossing salt over shoulder)!
All the good ones are gay? If that's true, then where's MY gay??!! I just think the grass is always greener. If I'm bitter, it's because I'm jealous that you got to talk to Al. Pft.
But I'm glad the clouds seem to have lifted, Cowbell ...
Tater: It counts for a whole hell of a lot, sweets! Love you guys! Your bumper sticker idea is hilarious. Except for a few of the closet Repubs this past year, then it have to say Everybody Knows I'm Gay.
I'm sick of the recent Dem sniping too, it's ridiculous and harmful.
Red: Now now dear, I got to talk with you too, plus, you know you're my Totally Non-Sexual Crush. You have the ecard to prove it.
Who in the hell do you work for that asking for time off until 2009is a no-no. I'd be rethinkin that job! Seahawks...football if I remember correctly. Go Seahawks..
Life sucks, then it gets better and having friends always helps...
The Dems are playing very nice in Las Vegas tonight. Just sayin'.
Don't call me a borderline socialist!
I am thankful that people like you post. When the price of gas gets super high and food becomes scarce, it makes me feel good that your kind will be the first to occupy the attention of the mobs looking to take what you have. In fact my kind will watch from the foothills with sadness at tragedy, but feel glad that our families will not see the same - as we have listened and prepared. Glad that there are people that will be belly filler for the starving. Kudos...
Nature has a way of cleansing itself. It starts with the weak and sick. The king lion with all it's power and strength dines on the week. So; does Guns, Guts, and Glory sound like a lion in the jungle ready to eat a sickly looking liberal. Hmmmm... I don't practice cannibalism - but the hyenas do.
