But I still love it. Also why I am -fuc*kin' coward that I am- hesitating to put that ACLU sticker in my car window. That’s why putting an asterisk into a dirty word smoothes everything all right

Anyone supporting Hillary should be fined, no? I believe she has yet to oppose the "war." Actually, if the cop wanted to "get" her, he should have ticketed her for blocking her own rear window with bumper stickers. Probably could have got that to stick, without getting into a First Amd. fight. From the above story:

Main product is soybean mash, which contains lotsa protein and is used as animal feed. Major difficulty with biodiesel production has been making sure of getting your hands on enough raw input material.) I still want a bumper sticker that says:

Who knew? Bad news, it's not anymore. Our courts have made that clear. The good news is that boobs are still ok. Political speech is protected by the Constitution?

Who knew?

Bad news, it’s not anymore. Our courts have made that clear.

The good news is that boobs are still ok.

Red letters. Four inches high. It was incredibly distracting - far more so than any political message I've ever seen. Who the hell even pays attention to those any more? The weirdest bumper sticker I’ve ever seen:

SOMEBODY I LOVE WAS MURDERED!

Red letters. Four inches high.

It was incredibly distracting - far more so than any political message I’ve ever seen. Who the hell even pays attention to those any more?

Go prospecting for bru<i>shit</i>e without a fine? What if a shitepoke is my favorite bird. Can I put it on a bumper sticker? What if I speak Cu<i>shit</i>e? The language that dare not write its name? Heh. So if I have a stereo made by Matsushita, I have to file the logo off? How about my “shiitake happens” T-shirt?

That said, this whole thing reminds me of about umptybillion conversations I have had with Teh Offspring about "why do we even have words in our language that we aren't supposed to use?". Like I can honestly answer that? Fucking a.

The writer had his or her panties in a twist because Barbra Streisand had the gall to critisize dear leader at a recent concert of hers. I made a snarky (but clean) comment to the editorial, "Don't try to "Dixie Chick" Streisand because she's been around the block too many times to care". These wingnuts are all for free speech as long as it's in somebody else's country.
