Bumping Up against Reality

From the BBC of all places:

Democrats do not have a message on the key issues of our time...
The American left has faded away.

Only their bumper stickers remain, like cockroaches after a nuclear holocaust.

"Re-defeat George Bush," they whine. Not knowing, not caring that the world has changed.

So I remembered this sad sack sign which has been hanging around in my neighborhood since 2004.

Bumper stickers aren't big around here. People usually have some discreet school or sports signs on their cars. Political ones usually pop up for hotly contested races, but then disappear. Being that this is Illinois, a virtual one-party Democrat state, we don't have too many of those.

Then I went to look for more signs of disaffection from the left. The train station lot was dull, as would be expected, only one standard sticker each of Kerry and Bush.

But over by the library I hit paydirt---and this was just one car!

A defensive Deaniac....







Anti-Bush in a big way.













But then there was this just opposite.














Heading home I practically plowed into this car, coming around a curve.

It was parked ILLEGALLY.


So much for sticking to the rules.
