I'm not as grumpy as this post would indicate. Really.

To the person who left an Obama/Biden car magnet on our car yesterday/last night:

I'm peeved at you. I'm also maybe feeling really sorry for you. More on that in a minute.

First, I must say that my objection to the magnet has nothing to do with what's on it. I've said before I like Obama, and I would be equally peeved to find a McCain magnet, or an Oprah magnet, or even a damn Brad Pitt magnet on my rear bumper. Why? Because it's a magnet. That I didn't put on my car myself.

Also. Have you seen the news? Obama won. It's done. Many people are happy about it. Certainly his supporters are overjoyed, and yet I suspect you are sad it's all over. No more yard signs to kick over. No more door knocking. No more guerrilla campaigning. It's very disappointing, I realize. His campaign did a very good job, but you have to wonder, what are those folks who lived and breathed only to convince others to vote for Obama supposed to do with their time and their leftover car magnets now? I suggest you get a hobby. And stick your magnets on your own car.

Finally, I must ask you to be considerate. If you are going to put unsolicited symbolic items on my car, the least you can do is let me know where your car is, so I can return the favor.

 

You won't mind, right?

Wasn't me, I swear!! :)

At least it wasn't a sticker! Still a foul, though.

Too true, Bets.

Kate, if you lived anywhere on the east coast, you'd be my prime suspect. ;)

Which makes me think - Marc brought up the possibility that it could be a joke from someone we know - in which case I wouldn't be peeved because then there would at least be some meaning and hey, I love a good, non-harmful joke. We have gotten into some heated debates with dear friends over our newfangled crazy liberal ways. All good, you know - I think I've made it clear here I love a good debate.

What I'm trying to say is - if you know me and the magnet was just a little joke, that finger wasn't for you.

I wish I was a Total Farker so I could submit this little gem to Fark.

Awesome.

I LOVE this. I also love the graphic. In fact, it's possibly the one magnet I'd love to put on my car!

Excellent.

For some reason, my comment didn't go thru, and now I'm sure it will, and I'll look like one of those stalker commenters or something...sigh.

Anyway. Great post. And great magnet. In fact, I could use one of them for my car. Heh.

[wordnerd]

See? Dammit!

I'm leaving now. F'real.

Hey, stalker, don't go!

Or, at least, make sure and come back! You stalker, you.

(Thanks for the kind words, wordstalker and Imez!)
