I couldn't help but -- belatedly -- notice a disheartening trend in "Decision 2004" campaigning: John Kerry's bumper-stickers are timid and "old-timey" while W's are all macho corporate arrogance. Kerry's stickers feature the vacuous slogan "A Stronger America"; W's stickers dispense with ideology and bypass sentiment. BUSH, CHENEY '04 -- that's it, in bold fuck-you sans-serif: the emblem of someone who knows he's got the election won (whatever exactly "winning" entails in a post-democratic society). Take a look the next time you're behind the wheel and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

I the pisser are the people who have the W sticker (white on black) on the car after the election. Its a fuck you, we won thing.

Some in-laws just bought a new car off the lot, they don't even have plates for it yet, but theres that sticker in the window.

On the plus side, they think someone keyed the crap out of their old car because of the sticker.

I saw a post on the Yahoo news board which called that W sticker the new swastika. There's a dystopian s.f. theme lurking here fer sure.

I'm glad you see what a great guy W. really is. I mean he's one helluva SOB. I'd watch NASCAR with him anyday. Hey, wanna see if the three of us can get together to mourn Dale Earnhardt? It's a date!
