Beat me to it

I was gonna write about this yesterday (14, yes, 14 ribbon magnets on each side of a customer's car), but it was already done. Via 42 from Virtual Pus:

There are few things in this world that disgust me more than fake patriotism. I am getting sick and fucking tired of seeing these goddamned yellow ribbon magnets on the backs of SUVs. A simple yellow ribbon tied on a tree or a mailbox during a time of war is supposed to signify that the person displaying it has someone in harm's way in whatever bullshit war the warmongers have dragged us into.
