The adventures of Mommy woman
Published on October 13, 2004 By JillUser In Politics

I can't say what happens everywhere but I will share what I have observed here in suburban Detroit. 

I do a lot of driving around due to the fact that I have two young boys.  I see a lot of bumper stickers during my local taxiing. 

My observations are as follows:
I see Kerry/Edwards signs mostly on tiny beatup foreign cars.  I see Bush/Cheney signs on American vehicles (mostly SUVs and trucks) and the only hybrid I have seen in this area has a W in '04 magnet on it. 

I have never seen a Kerry/Edwards sign of any kind at the christian preschool my youngest attends.  I see no bumper stickers of any kind in my neighborhood, other than the occasional "My child is an honor student" sign. 

I abhor bumper stickers. But it is interesting social commentary on the kinds of cars that different kinds of supporters drive.

I saw one today that read "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy".
There is a new country song that says that.  The girls next door sing it but thankfully they don't know what it means (they are 6 and 9).

I had 'you laugh because I'm different - I laugh because you're all the same' on my Jeep before I totalled it.  Now we have a 'Defensor Fortis' crest and a Security Forces shield...Air Force cop stuff:




We get a lot less hassle at the gate and elsewhere thanks to those.....

I can certainly understand having those on your car dharma.

A couple of other stickers I saw today:


W is for Women


The F in John F Kerry is for Fonda

At Weight Watchers parking lot I saw:

I may be fat but you're ugly and I can lose weight

Saw a good psuedo-christian bumper sticker during the clinton years, look up the verse, the laugh's worth it.

"Pray for Clinton. Psalms 109:8"

I'm joining this one late it seems... but other than required base parking and access stickers, the only thing decorating my car (dirt is not a decoration!) is a sticker in the shape of a Ranger Tab that says Regular Guy... here's a pic...

I hate when I get homework assignments on JU--but it was very funny!

Know I'll get in trouble for this... but I know a good bumper sticker...

Why do you have a quiet dead church?
Read Psalms 150, and get some life!

You know at one point some buds of mine and myself wanted to do some 'Chairborne' Duty Patrol, with a big Chair for a patch.

Anyways, on my drive home I did not notice that many bumper stickers at all, I will look harder tomorrow or so but most cars are barren of bumper stickers.

Reporting in from NYC:

The good bumper sticker news: tons of them being sold by all the street venders here.

The bad bumper sticker news: nobody own a car, and we're not allowed to stick things on the subway any more.

As for the bumper stickers I detest, it would have to be the ubiquitous fish stickers. If you want a flashing beacon that you're a bad driver, attach one of these to your car!


As a fairly fundamentalist Christian I have to say I agree with you. I can't stand driving near a car that has a fish on it. Dove stickers are almost as bad. I even did a comedy bit about it once.


For those of you too lazy to look up the later Bible themed stickers:

Why do you have a quiet dead church?
Read Psalms 150, and get some life!


It's not a joke, more an admonition against stale, boring church services. It lists different boisterous ways of "praising the Lord," but it's too long to cut-and-paste. (click here if you really want to read it.)

"Pray for Clinton. Psalms 109:8"


109:008 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

I really like the Pray for Clinton one!

My recent favourite that I saw just the other day, "Jenna Bush stole my ID" and on my old Jeep I had "My horse bucked off your honor student"
