An indecent proposal
January 14th, 2008Speaking of bad drivers, I just got done shopping today, and was in the far left turn lane making a left turn, when the car to my right (in the other left turn lane) veered into my lane, completely unaware of my existence. Now, I never honk to punish a driver. I learned that in Driver’s Ed. I only honk to prevent an accident and that’s why I honked.
The driver quickly realized what she did wrong and corrected herself to prevent from making me swerve into the center divider to not get hit by her. She then sped up to avoid further embarrassment. As she sped up, I noticed an Obama bumper sticker. And it hit me. Eureka! Negative campaigning.
Think for a moment of your least favorite political candidate. Take one of their bumper stickers and put it on the back of your car. Then proceed to be the biggest jackass on the road.
Drive ten miles an hour under the speed limit in the left lane right at 8:55. Double park your car in prime real estate right at peak shopping hours. Cut someone off, then flip them off, then speed off. Pretend to gab on your cell phone and almost hit the person to your left, notice them, over-correct, and almost hit the person to your right.
That bumper sticker will be the thing they remember that night, and it will leave a bad taste in their mouth when they go to the polls.
