We at the Austinist know how some of you love to broadcast your political affiliations through your bumper stickers. We find reading the spirited phrases helps us to pass the time while stuck in traffic. And we think some of the stickers are quite clever. After all, you really can't hug children with nuclear arms!
Additionally, we're sure you've kept up with the rising number of President Bush's exclusive "public" speeches concerning Social Security. Bumper sticker fanatics beware. You may not have the same access to the President that everyone else enjoys. At a recent speech in Colorado, two members of the audience were kicked out of the event because the bumper sticker on their car read "No More Blood for Oil."
This officially marks the point at which Bush's supporters (who were supposedly the perpetrators of the booting) have lost all sense of democracy. What type of country do we live in where you can't express your beliefs on the bumper of your car?!
We'd love to hear about the greatest Austin bumper stickers you've ever seen, so quote some of them in the comments.



not specific to Austin, but:
"Save the Whales ...
Redeem Them for Prizes!"
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean nobody isn't following you.
Funniest?
"BUSH/CHENEY 2004"
(Also, scariest.)
F The President (answer to the stupid W The President stickers)
"Keep Austin Free Of Keep Austin Weird Stickers"
OK, I just made it up in my head, but there's a million-dollar business in there somewhere.
Support Beef. Run Over a Chicken.
"God Is My Co-Pilot...Then We Crashed in the Mountains and I Had to Eat Him."
The funniest bumper sticker I've seen around Austin is pretty offensive, so avert your eyes if you are sensitive to such ...
"God is my co-pilot, and we are cruising for pussy."
A bush sticker from October:
"Drunken Frat Boy Drives Country Into Ditch"
it's old but a classic: "jesus loves you, everyone else thinks you're an asshole."
"Bush is a punk-ass chump"
Travis county wasn't the only blue county in Texas for no reason because Travis county wasn't the only blue county in Texas.
Yep. I was way wrong about that one.
I have a question. I just got a new car and I wanted to find my old blue austin bumpersticker with the red i. You guys rememer those. Anyone know where to find one?
Saw a great one that read:
My SUV loves Iraqi oil.
"78701, more than a zipcode, it's a bumper sticker" - see 78704 stickers for reference.

Signal Please, I don't have ESP
and last but not least,
Riding my bumper will not make all the traffic ahead go faster
