dear democrats

thanks for the offer of a free bumper sticker with your new logo, but i'll pass.
see, i'm slightly pissed off that you spent gawd only knows how many
hours and dollars designing a sticker and not a solid economic
recovery plan.and it's not that i'm sticker adverse. i lived in newt
gingrich's district in the 90s. the kid's daycare was next door to his
home office. i was also in the land of bob barr.and i drove my little
red toyota around with democratic stickers covering the bumper. scary
southern white dudes like to scream at 24 year old me and my kid when
i was pumping gas or loading groceries. but that was under bill
clinton, and i had a middle class income and could afford a car and a
home and daycare. so the occasional red faced fuckwad was just the
price i paid for backing a party that made my life better. there is no
trade off for this new sticker and as a consolation prize it bites.
