Election Night Silliness
So I go out tonite to walk with my neighbors and when I come back — all of the Obama signs on my block have been replaced with Charlie Copeland signs. I was mad as a hatter (still am) and remember why I miss living in my hometown. There I would have known enough people (ones I trust) to pull off a “special operation” tonite. All of the Obama signs are replaced, the Copeland ones are gone and one of my neighbors with a camera is turning that footage to the police. Fortunately, Charlie is pretty scarce in the city so there’s little chance we’ll be in close enough range for me to give him what for.
When I got home from other election day prep, I have a robo call from Herman Holloway, Jr. He is telling me that there are two Democrats running for City Council President — he is just in the second column. Which makes how many repubs throwing their party under the bus this cycle?
Delaware Republicans — stop calling me, stop sending me your crap in the mail and stop messing around with my lawn signs.
Here in upstate NY, my Obama yard sign, placed far from the sidewalk on my lawn, disappeared within 4 daylight hours. Obama signs are difficult to obtain in Rochester, so we replaced it with two Dan Maffei (for US Congress) signs and one Obama sign.
The 2nd sign lasted two days.
We replaced it with additional Maffei signs and my son nailed an Obama poster to our porch.
We took our final Obama lawn sign, covered it in Vaseline, and placed it in the lawn.
So far, so good.
As of today, idiots no longer reign in my country.
Your keyboard to God’s ears.
I know what you mean about the Copeland signs. I was in the city yesterday for a meeting and was surprised to see the last minute influx along the roads. No way to tell if signs were torn out beforehand.
