It’s getting harder to irritate folks with anti-chimp stickers and shirts…
I always go out of my way to put my anti-bush attitude out there. It doesn’t take much to send me into a loud “living in bushworld” rant in the course of my daily activities. People are now nodding in agreement rather than looking at me like I’m a psycho.

Insane freeper reactions to my bumper stickers seem to be on the decline. I did have one encounter last week, which culminated in him flipping the bird (and me laughing) for a couple miles on the freeway, but I used to get at least a couple of those every day, sometimes with dangerous tail-gaiting and screaming etc.

I do live in a very liberal area, but it seems like nearly everyone now has just had enough of the chimp.

I live in a rental house, which is for sale. When prospective buyers show up to look at the place, I always wear my International Terrorist (w/bush pic) tee shirt, and make sure all my various protest posters are conspicuous. Everyone who has shown up has been highly supportive and very anti-chimp.

I think that rigged elections are the only obstacle to us reclaiming our democracy. The corporate media can no longer hide the massive hoax that has replaced our system of government.

2. I live in a conservative area of Florida
And I never get the bird anymore.

Last week, a car load of people pulled up nest to me, waving, and giving "thumbs up". When they passed me, I saw their Bush-Cheney '04 sticker. I wonder if they took it off yet?

10. Okay thanks
I guess I didn't look hard enough. I have an ash grey one but black would look better.
