Oxymorons

While driving home this evening, I got behind an automobile with a number 3 sticker (Dale Earnhardt's number for those who don't follow NASCAR) right below a Kerry/Edwards sticker. Now, for those who know nothing of the politics of NASCAR, let alone of Dale Earnhardt, rest assured that this is quite an odd combination. If Dale were alive today and he came upon this combination of stickers, I am quite sure he'd tear that number 3 sticker off to prevent it from being associated with Kerry/Edwards. He was quite the staunch Republican, as are many in the NASCAR community. I find it hard to believe that any real Dale Earnhardt fan would be caught dead with a Kerry/Edwards sticker on their automobile, especially since the election ended nearly a year ago. And to add insult to injury, the automobile in question was a large SUV. Any real Kerry/Edwards fan wouldn't be caught driving a large gas guzzling SUV. After all, that'd be the same as voting for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, wouldn't it?
