Found on CNN in the weekly “offbeat photos” feature.
Yeah, the way I feel about people like this is how I feel about spiders. I like to live my life pretending such evil creatures don’t exist. And on the highly unpleasant occasions I am forced to see one, I get the heebie-jibblies so bad I feel nauseated at the ugliness of it, and just pray it will scurry away quickly to whatever hole it came out of.
Some highlights:
- Hey! Drilling for oil anywhere the oil companies want to drill is totally worth raping the environment because it’s guaranteed to lower gas prices because there’s NO WAY that oil companies would just keep the profits and have record-high earnings, is there? (Cyrus has an excellent entry about why anyone without brain damage can see right away this plan will not work.)
- According to the sign on the roof nestled amidst plastic flowers, God blessed America because George Washington was a tobacco farmer. Guess 250 years ago, instead of getting a Marlboro-emblazoned Members Only jacket for doing your part to support the tobacco industry, you used to get God’s blessings and a brand new country! (Why not smoke 250 years ago? They didn’t have science to tell you it was bad for you, most of society died before getting out of their 40s so even if they knew about long-term health effects who cares, and when your nearest neighbor is miles down the road, your smoking didn’t bother anyone!)
- What is about six inches below the “Speaking truth in love” assertion? Why the message that we should boycott the Humane Society of the United States! Oh, and apparently her dogs agree, and her dogs vote! (I’d bet my pension this woman keeps her dogs outside tied to a tree 24/7 and considers herself an “animal lover”.)
It makes me want to go buy something to support the economy of Texarkana, Arkansas.

Good morning Bunny. Thanks for the shout out…and thanks for forcing me to spew my start-the-morning-right chocolate milk everywhere after looking at the picture, and then reading your opening line…”Yeah, the way I feel about people like this is how I feel about spiders.” So, so funny.
I saw some nutjob on the freeway with similar loony scrawlings all over her…heck, I couldn’t even tell what kind of car it was! Anyway, there was a single Obama 08 sticker on her bumper and all I could think about was the negative impact she was making on my candidate. I wanted to follow her home and scrape off
the sticker under cover of darkness!
This is why I sometimes want to either expatriate or move WAY out in the boonies, grow my own food, and become a total recluse. People are just ridiculous.
I’m certain she and I also wouldn’t see eye to eye. The discussions might get a bit heated.
