So I’m a big believer in not lording it over others (or being unrepentantly sulky) when it comes to bumper stickers and lawn signs viz elections. I find people still roaming around with “W\/04!” or “Kerry\/Edwards” bumper stickers to be folks spending too much time looking backwards (with snarkiness or bitterness) rather than looking forward.<\/p>\n

I’ve pulled the Obama\/Biden lawn sign out from the front, but I’m pondering the bumper stickers. I think it’s okay through the actual inauguration, as part of the celebration, though not after that, but I’m not 100% sure. I don’t think it comes across too much as “Neener-neener, we won!” (vs. “Huzzah, we won!”).<\/p>\n

And, then, of course, there’s the blog sidebar …<\/p>\n

Yes, I ponder about these things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
