... specifically, at the Porter, TX (outer suburb of Houston) Wal-Mart.

One of the vehicles in the lot had, in the rearmost side windows on either side, the words OBAMA YOU LIE* in decals on the glass. On top of the windshield was an URL (not repeated here to spare you almost certain drivel) along the lines of "Tell Obama He's Fired."

I might have some respect for the person who owns that vehicle... if it wasn't an SUV/minivan thing (hard to tell which) with all but the driver and front passenger seats, that's practically all the space in the back, filled almost to the top with shopping bags tied off to hold their contents in.

Contents: ALEVE brand OTC pain medicine.

ALL the bags.

Not cases of ALEVE, either- individual cartons, about a dozen cartons per shopping bag, and DOZENS of shopping bags.

I'm pretty sure you can't make meth from ALEVE... but what possible legitimate use could ANYONE have with that damn much over-the-counter painkiller?

* Joe Wilson's snide and inappropriately timed outcry aside, Obama DOES lie. He lies about ending torture. He lied about opposing the individual mandate and supporting a public option. He lies about supporting equal rights for homosexuals. He lied about restoring habeas corpus, ending warrantless wiretaps, and closing Guantanamo. And so on, and so on... but the kind of people who put OBAMA YOU LIE on their cars have been lied to about what Obama's lying about. They think Obama's carrying out a secret plot to turn America into a communist nation- when the truth is that Obama is carrying on the Bush legacy on many issues. Obama may lie about a lot of vile, unacceptable things... but two lies do not equal the truth.
