Here's my problem with the whole political sign problem.

First of all,
To pay 10 bucks for a sign that someone is going to steal, egg your house over, get shocked or killed over-Someone did get shot, I didn't get where, I just saw the story posted today- is kinda lame.

I look at it like wearing the low rider jeans with the underwear brand name on the elastic waist band.

It's that phony, "Look at Who I Wear!" attitude that no one cares about. Then it happens to a grade schooler, they get a wedgie from the tough guys on campus- it is an assault- but you can really have avoided the whole problem buy keeping your pants pulled up and not inviting trouble in the first place. Joe Boxer, Klein and all the other undie designers are like politicians, They really could give a loaded diaper about you, as long as you 'buy/support" them by spending precious time or money on making them huge.

After they get your money or vote, you are no longer needed until the next election or the elastic stretches on your shorts.

Now my next peeve?

I really love it when people spend 10 bucks on a sign thats printed up by the local 666 printer's union and the steel stands welded up by Iron Workers/Teamsters-way to keep the economy going. I laugh even harder when I see them turned insider out and being used to promote stuff after the election-

Even better when the losers are banned to "recycled sign heaven"
The one thing that bugs me is the idiots that staple the poly signs on telephone poles about 12 feet above ground.

They drive a car next to the pole, climb on the roof and staple their hearts away. I have to look at "Ace Hoole- 37th Assembly - A vote for your town!"
sign until the first week of May 2009 now that ultraviolet light has shredded it up enough for it to fall off the pole, into the sewer and down to the ocean for a turtle to swallow the plastic shards and die.

Yep, Strut you party, affiliation, your candidate, but for crap's sake, clean up after yourselves. You care about recycling, pollution and trash in the streets, but it's back to being irresponsible on November 5th.

Amazing.

And please don't be surprised when I laugh at your 8 year old political bumpersticker. Well, at least to take your trash with you!
