A READER EMAILS:

Re the I-35 billboard….

At a Superbowl party last night a gentleman sported a button that read: “Is it 2012 yet?” And this, in a monolithically liberal New York suburb. No violence ensued. Made me wonder how long before we’ll start seeing cryptic bumper stickers designed like odometers reading: 01/20/13.

Not long.

UPDATE: Reader John Casey writes:

The Obama stickers are disappearing in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in Chicago. I was shocked a few weeks ago when I realized that I was no longer seeing any Obama stickers during my walks home from the Fullerton el stop which is next to De Paul’s campus. Obviously different dynamics but until 18 months ago “Kerry/Edwards For America” stickers were commonplace as were the ever popular “Some Village Is Missing Its Idiot” stickers.

I’m hearing that from a lot of places.

ANOTHER UPDATE: NPR: ‘Miss Me Yet?’ Billboard With Photo Of Bush Is Real; Not An Internet Trick.
