I've pushed the envelope a few times during my six years as a resident of East Jesus, VA. I've deliberately pushed buttons with bumper stickers. And do you know what I've discovered? You can push buttons, and even though passions may be high, people in East Jesus pretty much leave you alone. This was especially true at the height of the marriage amendment campaign in 2006. I thought for sure my dear Judy (my vehicle) would be vandalized. But people left Judy alone, and she was untouched. Score one for civility.
This all changed the other day, when I discovered that my Judy had been violated. Someone scraped a sticker off her back window.
The sticker deemed too galling for someone's eyes, you ask?
This.
As it turns out, some things in East Jesus ARE sacred.

Okay, I'm sorry.
I laughed.
Color me ignorant (which I am), but I assume that NASCAR is a more passionate moment?
Lesbians and their bumperstickers ... second, perhaps, to red/Sydnecks and their bumperstickers. Although the god-bags/pro-lifers might have us all beat into the dirt on that one.
Here in East Jesus, it's the Falwell people who sport the most bumper stickers, including some of the more offensive ones I've seen.
Nowadays we see LOTS of Palin 2012 stickers. The Governor may be the commencement speaker at LU in May.
Now that's sadly funny.
Palin 2012 stickers? I've never seen one of those around here, didn't even know they existed! Amazing what different worlds we live in.
snicker... oops, sorry. I understand your pain...sorta...
It was me. Sorry.
Not to worry Syd, Stewart is still my guy.
The kid knows how to win races.
