Vehicular Lunacy...or Idiocy

So, I'm driving to work today and fall in behind one of those phenomenal gas-guzzling Ford Explorers being driven by someone, undoubtedly American and damn proud of himself.

How to tell? Well, in today's tough political, divisive and Lee Greenwood's resurrected career times, there are a few simple hallmarks.

He's got the special Illinois license plate for being a veteran.
He's sporting one of those stickers featuring a demonic looking Calvin taking a whiz on the word "Imports"

But, here comes the healthy dose of ignorance. Immediately to the left of the Calvin sticker, he's got an Apple sticker.

Has this tool not stopped in his local Apple store and checked the packing on EVERY box in there? If you can find me something made at their headquarters other than the designs for their nifty gadgets propelling them back to success, I'd like to know what it is.

Perhaps I'll be criticized for not drawing the linear link that some would make of, "Hey, stupid, the 'imports' he is talking about are CARS." But you know what? An import is an import and if you're going to be panning one, you had damn well better keep it consistent.
