Take a Look

You Know What?

I want the next White House Press Secretary to be someone from my high school class who still crimps their hair forty years later, has their prom photo for their profile pic and changes him while while fielding questions and talks about how most of our history teachers were all communists. 

If the future is being written like it's Mad Libs, let's at least keep it interesting.

Ha!

Never saw this sticker done up to look like a "I Voted" sticker. Let's hope voting in November doesn't feel like that kind of movement. 

Sticker in patriotic colors with stars: "I Pooped Today"

Fitting

Found in Kennebunk over the weekend. Definitely captures the country's mood post Nobel Peace Prize announcement. 

Sticker: Notice - The beatings will conitnue until morale improves
