[Robert J. Clawson]

Most amateurs write (or draft) bumper stickers that run to such length that you'd need a telescope lens in your hood ornament in order to read the things. This is prime time for bumper stickers. See what you can do for your side (originals, please). I'll start us off with two that I wrote.

BUSH/CHENEY 1984!

VOTE BUSH OR DIE


Bob

[Wild Bill]

FLYING AIRPLANES INTO BUILDINGS IS A NUISANCE

[Robert E. Jordan]

Jesus Loves G. W. Bush
Even Though He Knows He’s An Asshole

Work Longer
Earn Less
Vote Bush

Bobby

[Steven Schroeder]

THE REAL PATRIOT ACT IS VOTING FOR KERRY
SOMETHING ABOUT GEORGE W. BUSH PISSES GOD OFF
ONE-TERM FATHER, ONE-TERM SON
GEORGE OF THE BUNGLE
JFK 2004

And one for the Republicans:

FLUSH THE TWO JOHNS

And one for Naderites and other such creatures:

VOTE FOR THE RICH, LYING YALIE

I'm convinced that Berkeley is the bumper-sticker capital of the world; people here drive those ridiculous VW buses simply to have more square footage for their BS (bumper-stickers).

This one has probably been seen all over, but it tickles me every time:

RE-DEFEAT BUSH

When the BC04 website put up an application that let folks write their own slogan and have it placed on a printable BC04 sign, I followed the lead of Wonkette and made several, some of which were:

Support the Imperial Branch
So Are Ya Scared Of DIRTY BOMBS Or Ain't Ya
With Prisons Like These, Who Needs Schools
Another Nader Voter For (BC04)

Most of them are much too long for a bumper-sticker, but not nearly too long for, say, patchouli-scented tie-dye tank tops.

Well, I'm not sure how to turn this into a bumper sticker, but I LOVED this:

What's a blogger but a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas?

...the pajamahadeen!

MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING OF THE PAJAMAHADEEN

(Unfortunately, one might get sniped on the highway.)

[Simon Hunt]

I've seen these around here:

Kerry Edwards: Bring back complete sentences!

John Kerry--He's Not Retarded

The Sock Puppet is not MY President

[Claudia Gary]

You may have seen this one around:

Bush/Cheney '04:
Four More Wars!

[Sherri Damlo]

Here's one I've seen,

BUSH AND DICK: YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA GET FUCKED

[Fred Longworth]

On the door of a frat house: VOTE BUSCH

* * * * *

As an aside, and since Halloween is coming up . . .

The last four letters of "George" are "orge". I know, you're thinking of a sex party. But no -- these can be rearranged to yield OGRE. Unsurprisingly, this is also true of the first four letters. So, I guess Bush is an ORGE backwards and forwards.

Sadly, poor Al Gore had a similar problem in 2000. "Gore" can also be anagramized to yield OGRE.

Ergo . . .
