In Berkeley they're not happy unless they've got eight or nine bumperstickers all clearly delineating their particular leftier-than-thouness.
They probably shouldn't drive through my neighborhood.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

When I was in high school, I put an "Escape to Wisconsin" bumper sticker on my parent's Mercury Marquis. Except I cut out the "to". I got a few laughs for that.
"Well behaved women don't make history" is popular in Berkeley.
Lots of anti-Bush stuff varying from "Not my President" to "Fuck you, chimpie!" type sentiments.
Still see "Visualize whirled peas" because, yo, bumpersticker are hard to get off and old hippies drive beaters forever.
Also with the "Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" etc.
"Support our troops by bringing them home."
There are several variations on the vegetarian side which tend to imply you're half a notch from cannibalism if you eat meat.
Lots of "I own a cat and I vote" or dog.
"I'm the best at what I do. But what I do isn't nice."
I'm the best there is at what I do. And what I do isn't very nice."
Although WikiQuote disagrees with me, I stand by it.
I'm not a bumper sticker type either. I find reading them interesting--enough of them ensures I will try and catch the driver's face--convertibles and expensive cars have that same effect.

A friend had "I eat tofu and I vote!" sticker.
"Your mother was pro life" is probably the one I dislike the most--it's not a sentiment thing, it's a sense thing.
I used to have one on my old chair that said "ADA: Boldly going where everyone else has gone before." I'll never be that young again.ETA: Of course, now I want the Believe one. I read an interview with Simon recently. He thinks the slogan should be "it's Baltimore, hon...duck!"
Also with the "Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" etc.
I used to see this one all the time, only with one end cut off so that it read "Practice random and senseless acts."
I have to say, it makes me happy to see a guy in a cowboy hat driving a big old Chevy pickup with a lefty bumper sticker on the back. I like to have my expectations defied.
