Blue Plate Special

I was sitting in the carpool line at Charlotte's school today and I begin noticing all the special car tags. Most of them were the wildflower tag, the spay/neuter tag and a few alma mater ones. This got me thinking about what other sort of tag options were out there. So I did a little research. Currently there are 100 special tags being offered by the Georgia Deaprtment of Motor Vehicles. Sure, you've seen the popular ones but did you know you could plunk down your $40-$200 and get a tag to support say...Chosin Resevoir Campaign of 1950 in North Korea? No? How about the Bobwhite Quail Restoration Project?

This got me to thinking about these plates and wondering about what the tags would look like for say the Enron Defense Fund, the People For Ethical Treatment of Dead Beat Dads, The Lobby For More Erectile Dysfunction Commercials Being Shown During Prime Time. The last one? That mental image will haunt you for days.

So what are the causes that I would be willing to support?
