Writing about bumper stickers for progressives
We make the following bumper stickers on the subject of the environment available for sale through the print-on-demand website Zazzle, but they’re not all equally popular there. In the list below they’re ranked, from our most popular design (at the top) to our least popular design (at the bottom): Bumper Sticker Definition of Environmentalism What [...]
We’ve heard too many excuses from the Drill Baby Drill crowd, pushing offshore drilling on us as if it’s just some kind of game to try to keep America’s coasts clean.
Dolphins yes, but more. One dollar from every sale is donated to a progressive organization, and another dollar is added to a Kiva fund to provide microloans to people in impoverished communities seeking to establish small enterprises to improve their lives.
Polar bears had it hard enough before John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate in the Republican campaign for the White House. Polar bears are suffering the record melt of the polar ice on the Arctic Ocean. The bears depend upon that ice in order to hunt seals, their main prey. Now that [...]
Over at Democrats.org, they’ve put together a sweet little website, Exxon-McCain 2008, a parody site that reveals the connections between John McCain and the oil industry. Did you know, for instance, that John McCain has put together a little $4 Billion legislative gift to the oil companies while he runs around telling the rest of [...]
What kind of sick mind would prevent someone from loving trees? Trees are one of the most basic, primal objects of adoration for humankind.

That tells you a lot about gardeners, and about supporters for Barack Obama. These aren’t the kind of people who sit and think about how things might be. They get up out of their chairs and work to match what is to what things could be. They plan ahead. They care about the world around them.
The oceans used to team with life, and now, life is being bleached out of the oceans. Marine ecosystems are going topsy-turvy. Icthyologists, who study fish for a living, can see what’s happening to our oceans with their own eyes. In places like BlogFish, icthyologists are documenting the extent of the threat piece by piece. It makes sense that icthyologists would support a presidential candidate who seeks to end the years of environmental neglect under George W. Bush.
We couldn’t grow victory gardens now if we tried. With global warming escalating, the difficulty is only increasing. Mohandas K. Gandhi had a warning about this development, which he saw beginning in his own lifetime: “To forget how to dig the earth and tend the soil is to forget ourselves.”
Trees are phallic, penetrating the sky and earth alike. Right wingers are out of touch with this natural symbolism of sexuality. They’re so much into dirty, stinking oil wells that I don’t think that they really have much fun in the bedroom. They mock environmentalists as “tree huggers”, and don’t realize that this very phrase reveals how much they’re missing the boat.
