Looking to slap more slogans on your Volvo, you latte-sippin’, book-readin’, over-evolved liberal, you? Here’s a good selection of appropriate ones. These two are my favorites:

In particular, this article on the illustrator Cvetomir Georgiev has an amazing image of a dissected torso exposing a fetus in situ…and I’ve got a new desktop image.
