So I was driving home from my substitute teaching gig...
Had a good, easy-peasy day. Tooling along the highway minding my own biz. I should note that on the back of my little green, 13 year old, Eagle Summit Wagon are the following bumperstickers:

~Eve Was Framed~
~Celebrate Diversity~ (rainbow GLBT sticker)
~What If the Hokey Pokey IS What It's All About?~ (my fav)
~AirAmerica Radio~
~W slash~
~US Out Of Iraq NOW: Bring the troops home!~
(no, I don't have a DU sticker...working on it.)

I usually get ignored. A few thumbs up. Not much reaction here in Winston-Salem/Greensboro, NC. So I was driving in the slow lane, when I noticed this fancy-schmancy shiny, Lexus sedan on my ass. I let him pass and noticed he sort of slowed down as he got beside me. I didn't look at him and he rather aggressively pulled in front of me. Then I saw him looking at me in his rear view mirror. He started giving me this really overt thumbs-down. I pretended not to notice him. He then wanted to get back into the fast lane where a little Jeep had just appeared. Lexus man was so distracted by his trying to piss me off that he nearly drove into the poor guy in the Jeep who DID give the asshat the finger.

I just kept on a truckin'...shaking my head the whole time.

Pathetic, pitiful, idiotic asshat-age behavior from sad, sick people.

9. I've gotten numerous thumbs downs, etc from nutcases with the
W stickers and such on their cars. I usually let them get right next to me and then I flash them the peace sign. Really ticks them off.....

11. because they know in their hearts?? that they are wrong. it seems
dems can be verbally sarcastic, but i think repubs are more likely to be physically violent.

6. Sigh, I Hate To Admit It, And Know It Is Wrong, But When I See A W04
sticker I either mouth through the window "fuck bush, fuch bush, fuck bush", point at them and laugh really hard, or sometimes cut them off in a way sure to piss them off throughout dinner to the best of my ability.

Sorry, It is how I realease my tension, but I do know it probably isn't condoned.
