18. I Think That People Found Their Sanity in the Voting Booth
Thu Feb 13, 2014, 08:04 PM
Feb 2014

I've been living in Las Vegas for 10 years. In the time running up to that election, it seemed like every other car on the road had pro-Rethuglican and anti-Harry Reid bumper stickers on their cars & trucks. Even I despaired that Sharon "Obtuse" Angle would win.

Funny thing, though: within a week after that election day, not only did all those bumper stickers disappear, so did most of the generally reichwing ones as well. Now I see very few proclaiming their allegiance to hate radio, websites, PACs, or anything else. In a way it's too bad - it's harder to tell when there's a crazy in the next lane.
