Awake and Pissed
Oct. 21st, 2008 12:33 amI've hit a second wind tonight that I fear may last a while. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I acquired an Obama sign for my front yard today. I decided to do this after feeling I had reached the point that McCain/Palin had no chance in wooing me (I overcame Bob Barr's sexy mustache long ago) AND after seeing that a yard just a few houses away from mine has had an Obama and another Dem sign or two up for several weeks/a month.
I looked out in the yard as I turned off our front porch tonight around 10pm and didn't see the sign. I didn't think too much of it because I had placed it so you were looking at its side when looking out the front door. Around midnight, I decided to take another look out front through the windows. I still couldn't see the sign. I sighed in resignation that I must satisfy my curiosity. Sure enough, the plastic sign had been ripped off the metal wire frame. I couldn't find any of the sign anywhere. I pulled up the naked upside-down metal U from the ground and placed it atop the yard debris waiting for trash pickup tomorrow.
In an act that may be completely stupid, I decided to thumb my nose at the vandal(s). I walked to my porch, grabbed the second sign they gave me at the Dem HQ, and posted it in my yard. Just a little closer to the house...not right next to the sidewalk, now. If that damned thing gets ripped up again, I'm going to the Dem HQ, giving a donation, and asking for another pair of signs.
