Anti-Bush Bracelets Say, 'Count Me Blue'

NEW YORK - After spending 10 days in London with friends who were outspoken about their disdain for President Bush (news - web sites)'s policies, Berns Rothchild came home wishing she had a way to show the world she didn't vote for him.

"I sort of felt ashamed, and didn't really want to be associated with being an American," said Rothchild, who lives in New York City and voted for John Kerry. [The Ponderosa: Well, damn -- you're not REALLY an American anyway -- more a limp-wristed Euro-toddler! Vote for a traitor lately?!]

Her mother had a suggestion: bracelets, inspired by the Lance Armstrong Foundation's popular "LIVESTRONG" bands, that would signal opposition to Bush.

Rothchild, 35, is selling blue bracelets that say "COUNT ME BLUE," while Laura Adams, of Fairway, Kan., offers blue bracelets that say "HOPE." The McKnight family, of Moscow, Idaho, is even more direct; their black bracelets proclaim: "I DID NOT VOTE 4 BUSH."

Awwwwright ... some of ya need a little of the wisdom most of us got when we were in nursery school: When things don't go your way ... MOVE THE F--K ON and take care of your own life!

We don't recall being so whiny in 1992 or '96, but then again we're CONSERVATIVES, and our well being depends on, well US -- not whomever is president.

Some of you need a gut check ... if ya have any GUTS to check ...

Can't imagine being in a foxhole with any of these folks ... "WE SURRENDER! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
