Someone placed a McCain/Palin sticker on a Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department cart parked inside Penn Station. After the MTA was notified by the Times, it was promptly removed as "authority employees are prohibited from using M.T.A. property to disseminate political opinion."
What I find interesting about this is that this bumper sticker was placed on the inarguably the most emasculating, effete vehicle in the police force. I mean, it's called a cart. It's all style and no substance. It's meant to give an impression of presence in a busy and crowded train terminal, but really it is merely an unused trophy kept behind velvet red ropes. It's nothing but lipstick on a pig, kind of like what the McCain campaign has presented to America: We give you something pretty and distracting to look at and hope no one notices that it doesn't do anything.
