Stick it to me—2:20 PM
I'm normally dead-set against bumper stickers. For one thing, people forget they have them on their cars, so it does me no good to sideswipe some stupid bitch with a Bush '04 sticker on her Escalade because she won't know why I'm doing it.
Also, it's just sad to me the things people think need to be expressed adhesively on their cars. I've said for some time, the one bumper sticker I'd actually display would be: "Everything I need to know about you, I can tell from your bumper sticker."
Well, add another to that list. Today in traffic I saw "Is it 8002 yet?" and I wanted to weep with joy. 2008 promises to be no picnic, but by 8002 things will probably have blown over. We might even have science again.
It's cute, it's funny, and it makes fun of people who groan that everything will get better overnight once Bush is out of office. (One thing will, but most things won't.) But most of all, I just like the idea of it: nobody anywhere is thinking about 8002, and they should be.
