Oddly, when I was in Missouri last week I heard several people that I know firsthand to be passively (if that's possible?) racist declare they were voting for Obama. Whether they will follow through with that when it's just them in that voting booth remains to be seen.

We played at a Democratic benefit in Iowa last weekend. A guy with a big Obama sticker came up to us and was telling us about a (n word) he knew in the army. He used the word several times.

This kind of reminds me of grandma calling African Americans, "the coloreds".

"Michael, I believe the coloreds deserve the same rights as white people."

She was actually pretty progressive.

I just saw a car on the road that had a "9-11 was an inside job" sticker on one side and a "Nobama" sticker on the other. Not really sure what to make of that.

I bet that car had quite a few key marks on it.

Did they at least have the stickers appropriately positioned on the car--left vs. right?

Maybe they were making a subtle political joke.

They were positioned that way. That's pretty clever I suppose.
