I'm Voting Republican (NOT!)

A little while ago I was driving home from picking up my oldest daughter at school. Ahead of us, and in the next lane, was a vehicle with a bumper sticker that read "Too Informed to Vote Republican". As I pulled up next to it at an intersection, I honked and gave the driver the thumbs up and yelled "great bumper sticker". He immediately grabbed on and handed it to me through our windows (a little tough to do, as I had to lean way over to grab it!).

At any rate, I haven't put it on my vehicle yet. I have a bumper sticker for KPFK, Pacifica Radio in the Greater Los Angeles area, but it's sufficiently non-descript as to not cause me to worry about someone breaking one of my windows or something like that. Back in the late sixties and early seventies I had lots of bumper stickers on my VW Mini-bus, but that was way back in the wayback machine, and I haven't felt comfortable with the concept of people knowing my politics while I'm driving. However, I'm beginning to think the time has just about come to put it on.

In the interim, I thought I'd post a link to this wonderful video I came across while reading the comments to an article in the Huffington Post.
