Abort.

I (now) have a button that says "Abort Bush In The First Term" on my purse.

Since the Final Four's in town, so are a bunch of rednecks from Illinois (supporting the "fighting illini," a team not even allowed to bring it's own mascot into town- an indian chief). They all frequented my favorite ice cream hangout this afternoon, bringing with them their tacky clothing, trademark idiocy and a hell of an economy boost.

I was standing in line, waiting to pick up my sunday ice cream cone after dinner, when an elderly woman looks at me, looks down at my purse, and looks back up at me again. I looked pretty menacing with my 6 ear piercings, baggy chain pants and studded belt, I'm sure.

She says (I quote)- "How DARE you have something so politically incorrect on your purse! Don't you have any respect for your country?! For our troops?!?!"

I explained, "Sorry, no, I worship satan instead."

She looked put-off by my satan comment. But it makes me feel better to think about how I affected her life in a terrible, terrible way.
