I once got a minivan driver pissed enough at me to start pulling lane-changing shenanigans ... because I was tailgating her while trying to read the fine print on her bumper sticker. If you don't want people to read it, wench, don't stick it on there. I think you're right, the sticker would make a little more sense around election time. Preach it!

Planting President Bush "back" in Texas in that context makes a bit more sense. In two years he probably <em>will</em> go back to Texas... that's where his home is. Presidents are term limited. Duh. If I were designing a bumper sticker like that (no matter who held the White House) I'd think twice about advocating the "planting" of any president... the Secret Service has no sense of humor that it is aware of. ;-) I also don't understand why someone would want to sully their car with placards. I wear my opinions on my sleeve but I'm not about to mess up the second most expensive thing I own with some adhesive-backed, gunk-attracting nightmare. Oh wait... here's an idea for a sticker: "Cars are for driving, not for reading." I wonder how many people would see the irony. ;-) I wonder if maybe that sticker is left over from the 2004 race.
