Dear Sweet Irony

Yesterday I saw a pickup truck, being driven by two younger men. If I had to wager, I would say between twenty-two and twenty-six. Their truck was adorned with writings and stickers. Yesterday was indeed an election day here in Idaho.

What their truck has plastered all over it, well, it was glorious. "I'm Pro-Life!" and "I Love my Guns!" Clearly, the latter phrase was an ode to Obama's comments from six-weeks ago. The former was separately advocating a popular conservative view. Either way, their statements fell in line with the GOP's platforms: anti-gun control; anti-reproductive choice rights.

Of course, being "pro-life" and "loving one's guns," well, one can call me an elitist, but that is too funny for words. As Idaho is clearly in the Red State category, I cannot hope that it was two college-aged progressives playing dress-up for Halloween, but wouldn't that be funny if it were? Oh - dear sweet irony.
