Bumper Stickers In My Neighborhood

What does it mean when the same car has these two stickers (not on the bumper either--on the body of the car, along with about a dozen others)?

Say Whaaaaa?

I was out at a restaurant last night, and because our economy is cratering (thank you, David Letterman), CNN was playing in the corner. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the crawl at the bottom of the screen.

What? What? Everybody's favorite lovelorn teen, Lloyd Dobler?

(Okay, "sexy" might be a bit of an oversell. At least, "verifiably heterosexual?")

I just couldn't believe it.

It took about 20 minutes before the crawl came around again. This time I caught the entire crawl.

"The woman accused of stalking actor. . .John Cusack will be facing trial after the collapse of a plea bargain."

Whew. Now it's safe for me to love dogs again.
