Don't Challenge a Pack Rat...

Heh. In my post about the Øbama lawn sign out in the trash in MA, commenter Scott quipped:
So you've kept all your lawn campaign signs from years past?
Are you That Guy with the 2000/2004/2008 bumper stickers on his car?
Pictures!
To answer your questions, Scott: Actually, I have; no; and here you go:

Still There

Yes, that is a 2000 Bush/Cheney lawn sign. Yes, that is my wife's 2010 Honda Pilot (just to stave off the "that's an old picture" accusations). I've had that lawn sign in my garage for a decade now. Now, I'll be the first to admit that a good chunk of the reason it's still there is sheer laziness, but moreover it's the first political sign I put on *my* lawn - it means something to me. As much as I fell out of favor with George W. Bush, I still have that sign hanging up in my garage...

Be careful what you ask for - you might just get it!

That is all.

I collect political and business lawn signs. In my city, they are heavily regulated, so the zoning dept. of the city takes them down frequently. All you have to do is ask and they'll give you a dozen. I try to keep about 20 or so on hand. They make excellent 'no hassle' target stands! they are small, light, fit in the trunk of my Honda Accord, and you can staple to them using a regular paper stapler.

Cheap shootin' gear! Heh!

Like DLG said. Kool target stands. And free! OK, I'm cheap.

The second term of Bush sucked, but the first one was pretty darn good, IMO. I mean, there's a reason he was re-elected.

Of course, the alternative in '00 was Al Gore, so in retrospect, that vote's looking better and better as time goes by, no matter what happened in the 2nd term.
