"Support the Troops" magnets are now shaped as fish with "God Bless
our troops" on them.

I just saw my first one.

3. Maybe
we should interpret it as "God *save* our troops," since Rummy and the military/embezzler complex certainly won't.

5. I saw one, too!
And it was planted right next to a big numeral one with "Jesus is #1" printed over it. Oh, and there was a weird little white decal on the window of a little child kneeling as to prey in fromt of an odd cross. That vehicle was way over the edge for my taste.

7. I remember sometime last year
reading this blog and this guy went to a church and he and his dad went to a father/son outing and it ended up being a military thing! They had guns in the church and flags and all types of stuff. It was really scary looking. It wasn't a service or anything like that (or on a service day) but it still was really weird.

8. Someone is making a killing on the killing.
Next up, a magnet cross with Support Our Troops in some sort of "Jesus Saves" configuration.

Then a bible magnet.

Or maybe a praying hands magnet. Yeah, that's the ticket!

And on, and on, et cetera, ad nauseam. These people know a cash cow when they see one.

9. I saw an Autism Awareness ribbon. (honest!)
It was a bunch of different colors in sort of a puzzle pattern and I had to get up really close to read it. Has anyone else seen one of these?

10. There are Breast Cancer ones - pink that say Find a Cure and there
are school ones now - in the school colors - I've seen Iowa Hawkeyes in gold and black.

They are becoming standard bumper stickers.

13. I saw one of those too!
It was very hard to read. I happened to be walking by, so I could read what it said.
