If you're interested and want to make your own Anti Obama Bumper Stickers or any kind of sticker, you can make your own here at www.makestickers.com .  I've done it actually, I made a bumper sticker and they mailed it to me.  Mine said "Not Hillary '08."  Boy did I have no idea how bad this guy could be. I was a Romney man in '08.

Anyways, I tried to take a picture of it but it didn't come out. So I recreated the best sticker I've seen in Portland so far:




Kind of summed it up for me because I wouldn't ever want to put profanity on my car or Obama's name so this was a nice way around both of those dilemmas. But you can actually take that picture and have a bumper sticker made at the above website.

Speaking of Portland, I went downtown one day with my work boots and my work pants, a work shirt and a pair of suspenders and a baseball hat about like if I was on a construction crew or more like a redneck construction worker or something....whatever you wouldn't see in Portland.....um, you'd think I was the freak from freak-central.  I had so many people stop to look at me and I was like "uh, yeah, we don't all smoke hemp and dress like a hippie...."  Weird thing is I can spot a liberal just by the way they dress and they even have the same facial features here it seems - the ultra hippie ones with a larger nose and fair complexion and usually light brown hair.....trust me, weird stereotype but hang out here long enough and you'll see what I'm talking about.  Oh and they all wear the Austin Powers glasses and the guys have Austin Powers hair or a reasonable facsimile or related haircut or his sideburns.

One time my wife and kids and I went for dinner in the Pearl District in Portland.  Okay, let me tell you about Portland - nice people.  Kind people (until you put a Bush Sticker on your car).  But the most sycophant intellectual phonies I've ever seen in my life.  Anyways, Portland has such a wannabe feel to it.  There is no "big city" here.  Not like San Fran or even Seattle or LA.  It's got a bunch of pretend shops and districts in it that aren't so distinguishable from each other as to be anything special.  Like the Pearl District.  Bunch of mom-and-pop (or gay partnered or hookah smoking buddy) shops and restaurant that are selling the latest bead and power-crystal-glass-wear with an entire corner of the shop dedicated to rocks shaped like men's "organ's" with some guy who's WAY too effeminate at the front counter promising to make  all your dreams come true for $5.00 and wants to take you to the corner and show you the phallic shaped stones while he tries to lightly rub your arm to lead you in that direction (yes this has happened to me).   Get the picture?  It's frickin weird here.

Anyways, so me and my wife, both a heterosexual couple, with kids, white people, and I'm a veteran wearing one of my Navy hats....go walking through the Pearl District for dinner.  You'd have thought I was in Barnum and Bailey's circus as people stopped and actually stared at us like "what are you.....doing here?.....straight.....families.....can't.....comprehend......world....spinning....don't....under.....stand"   A normal American family stopped dinners as we walked through that part of town. 

SO my point?   I don't know - Portland's weird.  BUT we do have a couple things from here, um, Mark Lindsay of "Paul Revere and the Raiders" has a restaurant here over in the Sandy District, and "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen I believe came out of Portland.  OH! And did I mention the world's largest sex slave and child pornography industry flows through Portland?  yes, we are very open minded.  Oh and "Burgerville" - very overpriced food with local ingredients from the Northwest like Walla Walla Onion rings. 

Oh, and tonight I went for a bike ride with the kidlets and got my Yokota all ready to go after a few hours of work tonight and went to Red Robin for a burger. Some people here wanted to stop me and take pictures of me because they had never seen a getup like what I had going on.  I asked them where they were from, they said "New York." Ah.  That explains it.  I still have to put the toe-cages on my pedals and will be better to go.  The rolling resistance is a lot less than on the other bike I posted pictures of before.  Anyways, that's enough for tonight, kidlets aren't going to sleep and I gotta go tend to that.  But you can see them in the back of the carrier.
