I have a small sticker from a John Prine song that reads, "Your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore." Somewhat political and I'm glad it's there.

John Prine references get a pass. Always.

I used to have one that read:

"It's A Burrito, Not A Choice"

My sister-in-law has a bumper sticker that says, "Quagmire Accomplished". She's way more liberal than me, but I found that pretty funny.

I try to stay away from political stickers, you never know when someone's going to assert their opinion. In fact, I had an Apple Computer sticker on my rear window of my old car years ago (just the logo of the bitten apple) and someone had obviously tried to scratch/rub the logo out with their key. WTF? Stay away from my car!

Why stop at bumper stickers? Why do they waste millions of dollars every year on yard signs, buttons, etc. for candidates for President to Circuit Clerk? Sure, it's a psychological popularity thing. But come on--do you really want to win because uninformed people are swayed by yard signs?

People vote because the name is familiar. A great example would be Bill Haas and the St Louis School Board. His name was familiar because he ran for office so many damn times, never winning, yet his name was likely the only one anyone had heard of.


Of course, Bill Haas belonged on the wacky sitcom that was the SLPS School Board but that's not why he won. Name recognition.
