I learned something while waving a K/E sign this morning.
Big dumb looking white guys in SUVs know how to flip you off.

It was only about six during the 2 hours or so we were at a major intersection. Mostly overwhelmingly positive support. Hundreds of cars gave us appreciative beeps as we waved a hand and a sign, handed out over 300 bumper stickers, and smiled no matter what.

This was in an area that divided a liberal and a not so liberal area here in red, red Georgia.

4. I know the type.
We've got plenty of them in my part of Georgia too. When they're not flipping people off they're out stealing signs and posting very large repug signs along roadside right-of-ways. If I see one more W sticker on a huge SUV filled with teenagers I may scream.

5. We call them, collectively, "Lyle"
Actually L.Y.L = Local Yuppie Lardass.

Anyone whose collar is longer than his hatband need apply.

10. I think you're right!
I've often thought that. I wish someone would do a study to be sure. . . though they would have to pay the "measurers" an awful lot of money.
