Saw this one today - NOBAMA  - obviously on a McCain supporter’s truck. Over the years my favorite political bumper sticker still has to be from the senior Bush  vs. Clinton campaign: it read "Piss Off the Media, Re-elect Bush." What are some of your favorite political bumper stickers?   Lighted U.S. flag is shining bright again at Sarah Spinks' home http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/BeckyCooper/9108 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/BeckyCooper/9108 Sarah Spinks’ flag is back in her front yard right where it belongs. She took the 4-by-16-foot lighted flag down this summer because the blue lights had faded and “it was ugly. We couldn't’t find more blue lights.”  So she and her friend Thomas Yarborough, who helped her build it about six years ago, took it down and waited for stores to stock their Christmas lights. They estimate there are 800 to 1,000 lights. The new lights are brighter and light up the darkness of the night. She bought special star lights for the 50 stars on the flag. And to make sure the flag doesn’t go dark again any time soon, she has stockpiled lights, including the stars. Spinks, who works at Furr’s Cafeteria on Mondays and Tuesdays, said customers and friends have been after her to put it back up, saying the country needs the flag right now. So on Sunday when she turned the lights back on for the first time in about four months her neighbors were quick to notice. One of her neighbors commented that he was so happy to see the flag back. And so are the motorists who pass her house on North Main Street and see the flag with its bright lights shining once again.
