The Weird City’s Limosine Liberal Class Never Ceases to Entertain
Cruising the highways of Austin always yields a few laughs from the bumper sticker laden (”9-11 Was An Inside Job!”) VW bugs and junky, 1980’s vintage Ford Fairmonts clogging up the local roadways.
Occassionally, Austin’s wine and cheese crowd also gets its protest on by plastering a few bumper stickers to their gas guzzling SUV’s before going to Whole Foods to buy feta cheese and arugula salad.
Today, for example, I spied a 2007 Lexus LX 470 V8 tooling down the freeway with a “Texas for Obama” bumper sticker.

So Obama wants 1 million plug in hybrids by 2015. Just where does he think we are going to plug them in. Where is the power going to come from? A coal burning power plant?
If we had a million plug in cars now and evryone went home and plugged them in tonight the system couldn’t take the load.
Hint: if we want plug in cars and clean burning power plants we better build at least 100 nuclear power plants by the time we are ready to plug the cars in.
Tommy, I love Austin and have since I was a little boy. I’ve lived there twice in my life and often spent time there on business and pleasure. But those whackos just never cease to amaze me and they are always finding new ways to look foolish.
“BO” needs to propose legislation, if he would ever do his job in the Senate, to require automakers to put tire gauges in the cars and a stricter way of enforcing the “tune up” procedures for all cars.
It appeared as if the tires were inflated on that car.
I loved the tire gauges labeled “Obama’s Energy Plan” or similar I saw on Glenn Beck the other night. I wonder where those can be had.
It seems like the bumper stickers for the liberal candidates are always on the really luxo cars.
Upgrading from my red ride that gets 4-8 mpg I’ll break even & save the earth in practically no time if I buy one.
I can go broke saving money.
I’ve got another picture to add to this list - I took one of an F-150 in Rhode Island last week that says “I Barake for Barack”.
And all those people in apartments and condos? Where do they plug in? By the way, my little 1,000 sq foot condo in Hawaii used FAR less energy than Obama’s huge house.
Take a good look at Obama’s home!
HAL marked my last post as spam and won’t let me edit it!!
Here’s another bumper sticker trend I’ve noticed over the years: The occasional paganist or wiccan bumber sticker is nearly always accompanied by a democrat bumper stick of one form or another. Not that most democrats are satanists, etc, but satanists, wiccans, pagans, etc., are pretty much 100% democrat. I was behind an SUV on NASA Rd 1 yesterday and noticed these three stickers on it: (1) born again pagan, (2) this in an illegal war, and (3) Texas democrat. Do they really think they’re helping their cause?
My first trip to Austin was back in the 70s. The guy I was with informed me after seeing some free roaming hippies that a trip to UT was like a trip to the zoo.

Hasn’t changed much. It’s still a great place to visit (Austin) as long as you keep in perspective what you’re seeing. Music is great, food is excellent, local inhabitants very amusing….as long as you don’t take them seriously. Zoo? Works for me.
