Georgia plate looks like it should emit the smell of old lady perfume.
They actually held a design contest, which was voted on by the public. And yes, an old lady designed the winner.

Not to derail the conversation from license plates, but this via my wife's friend:
The woman that cleans my house and watches the kids just got her US citizenship yesterday. It's been a LONG time coming, years and years she has been trying. She was (until yesterday!) a legal resident, pays her taxes, etc, etc. She was finally able to take the test last week, then told it would be 3 months until she was sworn in. Then all of a sudden they told her to come weds. She went and there were almost 4000 people being sworn in, given voter registrations cards, a video message from Obama, then a song with video of the country about our country and thanking the troops who have died for our freedom. Apparently there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Just in time to vote...
Just in time to vote...

first comment "super 8 film wasn't introduced until 1965, before that it was 8mm. the Kenyan flag shown in the video wasn't introduced until 1963... so next time make up a better story and get a better production designer... or at least do better research, this took all of 5 minutes for me to find"

Hmmm, Allred thing sounds like a bust to me. I think if it does anything it's less for "sketchy behavior" than for reminding the world once again that Romney is the kind of guy who pals around with super-multi-mullionaires and in fact is one himself. But that's not exactly news.

Not to derail the conversation from license plates, but this via my wife's friend...I went through the citizenship ceremony.When you are approved at the interview you are told to wait for notice of the ceremony to be held two or three months later.The ceremony has the air of a celebration. Mine was in a local theater with something like 200 new citizens there with families and friends attending. A judge presides, who in my case was originally from Mexico and had his own story to tell. There was a class of children on the stage who sang songs and read essays about being American. The video of the president welcoming us was played. Everyone had to stand and pledge allegiance. The judge asked if anybody wanted to speak, someone going out into the audience with a microphone. He'd ask where they were from, how long the process had taken, etc. Hearing this is where it gets really touching. For many of these people this was a huge deal. A lot of very happy people in the room.You receive a packet containing things like the voter registration form, booklets about the US and being a citizen, and a flag. On your exit you are given your naturalization certificate and it's all done.
