On the Interstate this morning I spotted a Ben Carson bumper sticker.

I couldn't believe it.

I was in the far left lane and they were in the next lane. They had their turn signal on, so I slowed to let them over.

They did not take me up on it. I decided that they were not aware that their signal was on, so I sped ahead.

I looked over as I passed them. White male in his 70s.

I wonder if they were even aware who Ben Carson is?


True story.

And always on cars driven by old white people. They probably wondering where's my Carson sticker. He had a book signing and the parking lot was packed with hundreds of white people. I was trying to get in the super market in the next building but all the slots were taken. I had to park in the last parking place at the end of the world.

I wonder what the turnout would be for tRump, Carnival or the one of the Florida men?

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]They'll go with the most off-the-wall religious conservative anti-science fanatic. If he happens to be a black man, who works against the millions of poor and disenfranchised of all origins, it's a social bonus: "See? I'm not racist!"

Funny thing is, I took a second photo so I wouldn't get his plate (I was thinking of posting it here).

But his plate didn't come me out in the photo. I wonder if he has a block on it. It was a state politician plate - like state senate or something.

Anywho, it was an old white dude. 75 years if he was a day. And yea, the anti Hillary sticker too.
