Yall Best Not Put That Thar Sticker On Yer Car If'in Ya Know What Is Best Fer Ya!

So an alert commenter asked what happened to my "No More Bushit" sticker. This sticker lived on my old car, a 1987 Honda Accord. I got the sticker in the 90s, when that evil Clinton who lied about sex but never started a war was still in office.

The sticker was related to Jeb Bush's push to be the Governor of Florida. I really did not like that sticker too much, but put it on the Honda anyway. I used the sticker to cover up a rust hole. The Honda has a pretty bad cancer problem towards the end of its life. The sticker probably prevented a small rust hole from turning the car into a convertible - without the rag top.

Anyway, I had forgotten all about that sticker. Then the comment surfaced. So I did some internet sluthing and came up with this story from The Athens Banner-Herald, in lovely progressive Athens Georgia.

Yes, I know that the link I gave does not go to the Athens Banner-Herald but work with me here. The link will take you to The Progressive, but that is only because to get on the Banner-Herald's site you have to register with them and stuff. It is a big hassle just to see one little story. So I linked to The Progressive, and they have a link to the actual newspaper if you want to register for an account.

Anyway, the story is about a nurse who was pulled over and given a $100 ticket for having a "lewd decal" on her car. And what was this "lewd decal"?

Not exactly a sticker I would choose for display on my vehicle, but to each their own. I prefer stickers like this.

See how much funnier my sticker choices are? You get the words AND a funny picture of Bush all on the same sticker. When you have limited space for political statements on your vehicle, every sticker has to count! Unlike votes, which from now on shall only be counted if they are approved by Homeland Security Department Of Internal Stability.

Anyway, getting back to the nurse in Georgia - she was pulled over and ticketed for a bumper sticker with a clear political slant to it. During the incident she told the officer that she would not discuss the sticker, and to just give her the ticket. So the cop did. Under offence the officer wrote "Lewd Decal".

The nurse has no intention of paying the ticket, and that no-good ACLU has stepped in. According to the ACLU lawyer, in 1991 the Georgia Supreme Court struck down the lewd sticker law after someone sued for being ticketed for a "Shit Happens" sticker.

In otherwords, according to the ACLU lawyer the woman was ticketed because of a law that the State Supreme Court struck down over a decade ago. Clearly the ACLU is evil and must be stopped at all costs! Why, if the police can not just go around making up laws whenever they feel like it what would this country turn into?!?!?!

And what did the police department have to say aobut it? “We don’t comment on other officers’ tickets,” says Officer Herschel Grangent, who handles media affairs. “That officer is making his decision on the street. And it’s going through legal channels now.”

But the nurse is a clear trouble maker. She says that her 20 year old son was pulled over in Athens Georgia because of a sticker he had on his car. The officer told him to either remove the sticker OR be arrested. He removed the sticker. Apparently, they take their sticker laws seriously in Georgia! And what was this horrible sticker the dude had?

If woman is telling the truth about her son and this sticker, it seems that you DO NOT want to say "Bush Sucks" in Georgia. As for the second part of the sticker "Dick Cheney Too" goes, what is lewd about this? The Vice President's first name IS DICK! Nobody calls him Richard Cheney after all.

So depending on where you put the comma or period in that sticker, you may be a LAWBREAKER! In Georgia at least.

Moral of the story - STAY THE HELL OUT OF GEORGIA! Go to another state to spend your money. If you fly somewhere and the layover is in Atlanta, pick another airline or a direct flight. And whatever you do, stop at the state line and pick up a Georgia spproved bumper sticker cover if you have any "offensive" stickers.

And by "offensive" I mean anything that is critical of the King.
