Sept. 16: First sighting of a "Bush/Cheney '04" bumper sticker in Santa Monica. Well-maintained 2004 Ford Freestar headed east on Olympic; diligent use of turn signals (commendable), 7 mph over speed limit (acceptable); windows closed (air-conditioning polluter); ding in rear left wheel well (tax cut didn't cover repairs); valet stub in windshield (Bush event at Tom Selleck's house?). Veers toward freeway (and presumably Orange County). http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-oe-mehlman17oct17,1,6551651.story
