Comments: Yellow Ribbons For A Penny

My favorite are the cars that display a yellow ribbon and a "I vote pro-life" ribbon. They really don't see their hypocrisy.

You don't see many GOP stickers these days. Their own candidates wouldn't state their party affiliation on campaign ads during the last election cycle. Amazing how the cockroaches flee from the light.

Here is a fabulous video that I found from Mica Sifry on the hypocrisy of the Yellow Ribbons and that I posted on my blog. It is from the Asylum Street Spankers. They take “Put a Yellow Ribbon on that Old Oak Tree” and turn it into “Stick Magnetic Ribbons on Your SUV.” Good music, great visual comedy, and tragedy all in one.

I guess it turns out that investing in faux patriotism does have a downside. Bummer!

There is only one sticker on my car, Kerry/Edwards. It will stay there until 2008 elections.

Don't worry, Bushco's attack on Iran will turn the putrid yellow ribbon "market" around.

My fav is one that is a red/white/blue one that has the text "Just pretend that everything is ok"

Last October, Susis Madrak shared this YouTube by the Asylum Street Spankers. It is called "Stick Magnetic Ribbons on your SUV". It's a classic. Here's the link.
