    This is as close as I come to blogging about politics

    There are a lot of outrageous/funny/interesting bumper stickers in our neighborhood.  Like this one, for example.  I would love to have a conversation with the owner of this vehicle.  I can only assume that they'd be open-minded and not at all judgemental!

     But there is one car that is my favorite, by far.

    I'm not even sure what I love the most about this car.  The back window that has consisted of a tarp for as long I can remember?  The innocent Ravens sticker thrown in with the political rants and "FORDS SUCK"?   The fact that this "car" (which is really more like a peice of installation art) is up on blocks more often than it runs?   No, I think the entire rear bumper (which reads  "Hey Martin* Give Me Back My Money, You Thief!") is my favorite part.

    *I assume this refers to Martin O'Malley (D), former mayor of Baltimore and current governor of Maryland**.

    **Maryland is actually a blue state.  Yes!  I swear. 

    There's another "sticker" on the front bumper that I forgot to get a picture of... it says "Vote for Freedom!  Thanks VETS!!!" 

    But that's not all.  Simple painted messages on car bumpers won't cut it in an election year.  And that is why this patriotic fellow has now started painting on the lamp posts in our neighborhood. 

    But at least we can spell

    God, I love Baltimore.  Don't ever let me tell you differently.

    Hahaha, those are awesome! We have a couple of crazies in my neighborhood who have taken to spray-painting garbage cans with politically-intended messages...that usually involve usage of some kind of "[insert least favorite politian, political movement, or otherwise politlcally-inclined noun of your choice] stinks". Super original.

    People in your neighborhood are pretty...outspoken! :)

    Only the best in balto. :)

    I'm new to your blog (found you through Heidikins and loved your blog title). This is one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile. Gotta love chalk as a tool for political action :)

    Ah yes. Librals suck. And he can thank George Bush for his illiteracy. Rock on, W!

    Libras suck, too! To my knowledge.
