You say you’re politically engaged, but do you know where your candidate stands on…vanity license plates? Are they:

a) a bombastic example of the first amendment in action

b) a potent symbol for the reductive nature of America’s two-party political system

c) unwise at any speed

Still undecided? Take a look at the tags Rachel has on her car in Austin, Texas:

And the note she found recently on her windshield:

Obama sucks!

Meanwhile, in blue-state land…

courage and decency

Which led to this note posted in the office parking garage (and documented for us by Melissa in Long Beach):

courage and decency
