When the yellow fades, do the terrorists win?

My friend lives in a slightly more "red-state" neighborhood than I do. And by "slightly", I mean "very" - lots of ugly plastic Christmas decorations, uncreative lawn configurations, and a yellow ribbon on every tree.

Or should I say ... a white ribbon.

Yes, those "Support Our Troops" ribbons have faded, as so many neo-con hopes and dreams of a rose pedal covered Iraq.

My question: Is there anything less patriotic and more embarrassing than a faded symbol?

No, no there isn't.

And that goes double for you, stupid magnetic ribbon bumper things!
