After George W. Bush was elected president, my Gore-loving neighbor gave me a green "Unrepentant Nader Voter" bumper sticker. After the Florida fiasco, she thought I would be ashamed to stick it on my car. Wrong. I immediately slapped it on my Honda. It was beautiful.
In March, shortly after bombs began dropping on Baghdad, I took a razor blade from my garage and excised the letters "un" from "unrepentant," leaving "repentant Nader Voter" on my bumper.
It was a liberating act of self-correction that all Nader voters should think about.
