Freedom of speech is still dead in this country. A woman in Rapid City, South Dakota got vanity plates that say "MPEACHW" and since someone was offended by it (God forbid!), the woman was told to give them back. This awesome lady told them to suck it and that they were stifling her free speech.
Here's South Dakota's response: "They have every right to use that free speech, but they need to do it with a bumper sticker." Genius. God bless America.
Followup: Man denied JOHN316 vanity plates.
- by ACLU supporter Ted Kim who now is racing to get vanity plates that say "IMGOD".
The Washington Post has a funny take on this ridiculous story: South Dakota's DMV has recalled the vanity plates of a woman who wants President Bush Impeached. Is this a violation of the 1st Amendment or improper use of government property.

I LOVE "improper use of government property". If that was a crime, we wouldn't have a government.
