so, its that wonderful time of year, as we gear up for another show down of semi-qualified candidates determined to make a name for themselves so that they can spin their wheels in washington and not really accomplish much because they are to busy towing the party line and not really representing the people that elected them (wow, that is a long sentence) i have an observation that has me a bit annoyed...
when did it become OK to put a giant billboard in your front lawn supporting a candidate? i mean the signs they have now are HUGE. what happened to the 18x24 inch signs? why did we need to start putting up these giant signs, that take giant steel stakes pounded into the ground to even stand. i really love it when they are at the house on the corner and you can't look at the on coming traffic because some cheesy politician has his artificial smile gleaming at me. what happened to the days when you could just put out like 5 signs for the same candidate, now you just put out a sign that would better serve to advertise an upcoming truck stop given its size.
i also notice that the political climate in this country is so screwed up that most of the signs have NO mention of which political party the candidates align them self with. i like the idea that people actually have to figure out what the candidate stands for to vote for them, rather then just voting for a 'D' or an 'R'. so i guess i can't be angry all the time!
