I was walking home from skool the other day, listening to music and thinking about nothing in particular, when I happened upon a Kia. Now usually when this kind of thing happens, I'm apt just to kick it, admire the dent for a second and then mosey on. But this time I couldn't even muster up a kick.

Alberta plates. That is Important Point #1. The bumper sticker, positioned not on the bumper, but on the back window, offering support for "Bush/Cheney 04," is Important Point #2.

Barring the fact that the owner has dual citizenship, and even so, I was somewhat surprised to see this sticker, especially in the last left-wing stronghold of Edmonton, the Whyte ave area.
