Meanwhile, spotted in Albuquerque, this bumper sticker: Ask your mother what democracy was like.

I want one.
-Tresy

Are you really too blind to see that the existence of that bumper sticker belies its very premise? I assure you, in countries truly without democracy, no one is allowed to go around sticking bumper stickers with such slogans on their cars.

Cease the hyperbole, please.

While you're at it, don't miss Billmon's send up of Naked Gun movies vis a vis the search for WMDs.

Non-democratic countries do not necessarily or invariably suppress freedom of speech, in particular with regard to bumper stickers.

Democratic countries do not necessarily or invariably allow complete freedom of speech, in particular with regard to bumper stickers.

Your assurances in this case, are therefore worthless.

Well, I just sent off the other day for my very own "Bush Lied-People Died" bumpersticker. From cafeshop.com.

Anyone care to comment on how that is hyperbolic?

I'd prefer not to feed the troll.

Just timed out on me, Tena. Are you sure that's the right URI?

I don't understand, Lambert - you mean cafeshop.com? That's the way it came up - someone else told me about it and gave me the address. It's CafePress, but the address is cafeshop. I'm not much with computers, Lambert, so I don't know if I goofed.

BTW - and not really BTW at all - farmer's post on bump-monkey pox is so gorgeous it's hard to know what else to say.
