Dispatches from the Los Angeles Freeway System

Driving into my office in downtown Los Angeles this morning, I ended up behind a truck with a bumper sticker reading "Proud Union Member". Further down the vehicle's rear window was another sticker, equally concise, reading simply "I Hate You". It occured to me that the second sticker communicated no information not contained in the first.

Its the alternate universe version of Christine O'Donnell's: "I'm you"

Nice one, Troy. Probably a Teamsters driver. The union, along with Public Citizen and some other gadfly 'safety' groups, are in an all-out campaign to re-regulate trucking right now.

Inadvertent pithiness.

It is certainly getting to that point.
I actually think we need a labor movement--a new one, built from scratch, free from the sheer greed, selfishness, coercion and groupthink of American labor.

Our wonderful union brethren.
On a happier note, here's a bumper sticker combo I saw the day before yesterday on the tailgate of a pick-up: A Confederate flag sticker on the left side, an American flag with "It wasn't earned to be burned" on the right and an "Allen West for Congress" sticker in the middle. I've just moved back to the South--the Florida Keys--after being away over thirty years, and that sight did my heart good.

Are you sure the second bumper sticker was put there by someone else, and the driver hadn't noticed?

I saw a good combo yesterday on the back of a Saturn in northern Virginia (DC suburbs): a peace sign right next to a sticker that said (I swear) "No War But Class War."
