It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of
a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into
privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing
algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the
planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times. Anti-Bush Bumperstickers: Over the Century Mark!Over at Excessively Progressive, we've committed ourselves to offering a new bumper sticker each day relating to Election 2004: either in opposition to Bush and the Republicans or in support of an alternative candidate or party.
I'm thrilled to report that we've just leapfrogged the century mark, bounding to 110 unique anti-bush and other election bumper sticker designs. With Election Day on November 2, 2004, there are 517 days remaining until the election. This means, folks, that we're going to have at least 627 bumper sticker designs by the time we're through.
Friends ask me if we'll be able to keep it up. They wonder if there are actually 500 possible Election 2004 bumper sticker designs out there waiting to be designed. My response: there are 281 million reasons to vote against George W. Bush -- we'll have no problem reaching our quota. Given what Bush has done to this country in less than three short years, we'll do our best to spread the message and keep the man from reaching his own quota.
Check us out, buy a bumper sticker if you're so inclined, and by all means send us your ideas. We're in this together, friends. We can do it!
