This is probably not the first such incident, but it's the first I've run across. It won't be the last. The answer? Buy more Kerry stickers, of course!

SEATTLE - A Renton woman is facing hundreds of dollars in car repairs because someone didn't like her politics.

A vandal struck Joni Job's car while she shopped this weekend at a Fremont grocery store. It seems someone didn't like her Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker.

The vandal left his own political message on the side of her car. "Bush in 2004'" was scrawled in red paint.

Her car also has a new dent in the wheel well and a confederate flag slapped on the back.

"That was the real bone chiller, that was the real bone chiller," said Job. "I just thought what, are we at civil war? This is crazy people ... stop."

Until police can examine the damage on Monday, Job has to drive around with mixed political messages.

Anybody with insurance expertise out there? Could Ms. Job's company refuse to cover this damage on the grounds that this constitutes "war or civil insurrection" or one of those other weasel terms?
