THE ITMFA SAGA, pt. I

Bush-bashers, beware the wrath of Patty & Selma; my friend Glen has this alarming little idea that U. S. presidents shouldn't display such minor, forgivable faults such as folksiness, larded-on Texas accents, and complete mental absentia from the real world while receiving messages from Jesus about the lunacy that is evolution. So like folks in other states, Glen got vanity plates that read "ITMFA" (no translation here--this is a family Web site, for fuck's sake). Only not long after Glen slapped his plates on, the Department of Transportation told Glen that they'd received complaints, and he'd have to return the offending plates. Speaking to a Des Moines Register reporter, Glen sagely pointed out that this means all license plates with the letter "F" need to be banned, since even sensitive types apparently know what it stands for (I propose including the letter "S" in that roundup--it's an especially filthy letter, I say). A warning to all of you from the pyramid on the back of the dollar--keep your political opinions off of your plates.
