At the online emporium called Cafe Press, where anyone can peddle branded merchandise, an outfit called The Angry Left has set up shop. Lots of bumper stickers, because of course, that's how Angry Lefties tend to, ah, organize, and, uh, get out the vote. The slogans pretty well capture the wit and wisdom of Lefties who so impressively carried Democrats to victory in the '04 presidential and congressional elections.

Peruse the site's anti-Bush bumper sticker offerings. My favorites in that section are "Bush/Satan," and Bush/Cheney - Dirty Rotten Commies." Or view Angry Left's "F*** The System" bumper stickers. My favorite: "The Road To Hell is Paved With Republicans." There's another one I see around Seattle: "Friends Don't Let Friends Vote Republican." Lenin had a saying: "pin the convict's badge" on the enemy. Applied here in Seattle and like climes, that means, make it so unpleasant for people to come out as conservatives or Republicans that they don't. As it happens, that whole paradigm - and what to do about it - is at the heart of SeattleWeekly.com's second most viewed story of 2005.
