GUARDIAN: American voters find a voice in bumper sticker battle
"Kick their ass and take their gas", was the foreign policy suggestion on the back of an oversize jeep weaving its way through Washington traffic this week, and "Bush Cheney 2004" was the accompanying guide to voters.

Every four years, the time comes when US cars speak their owners' minds. It's a tradition almost as old as the motor car, dating as far back as 1921 when Warren Harding signs began appearing on Model T Fords.

By now, the proliferation of bumper stickers has turned US roads into a jostling, petrol-guzzling polemic of slogans, aphorisms, and insults.
