After dropping off AnteSpam brochures at HiWAAY's offices today, the boys and I walked down the building to the Dem HQ. We now have an Obama/Biden yard sign up in front of our house.
I would have one, but I know what would happen to it in my neighborhood. Most of the Obama signs round my way have been destroyed.
It's for that same reason that I'm not discussing politics with any family members or in-laws this year. I'm afraid that in my current state, the second my FIL decides to drop the N-bomb in conversation (and he WILL), I'll start dropping F-bombs for a starter, and finish up with a rousing scream-at-the-top-of-the-lungs denouncement of my in-laws racist attitudes, which could do quite a bit of damage to things to say the least.
I won't lie; I didn't know what to expect if I put an Obama sign in my yard. It isn't uncommon for political signs to get stolen or ripped in most campaigns, so I figured the odds of something happening to an Obama sign was more likely. Thankfully, just a few houses down from me is a Obama yard sign. It has been up for about a month with no problems (that I could tell). When I saw that the Dem HQ was right next to where I was running an errand, seeing about grabbing a couple of free signs seemed worthwhile.
I was toting the boys with me at the time and was grateful that neither of them protested adding the task to our errands. They left the HQ with Obama bumper stickers...leaving me to negotiate with the boys about where it would be okay to put the stickers.
