Ah, the sweet stench of the political campaign season. There is nothing else like it. For three years and six months out of every four year cycle, I believe most Americans try to be conscientious about not littering and leaving only footprints and packing out what they packed in, etc., etc. And then a campaign for political office starts and you wouldn't believe what people will pound into their lawns.
My current favorite campaign sign is the following:
Dino Rossi
Don't Let Seattle Steal This One!
So positive! So uplifting! It just screams leadership, rationality, decisiveness and forward-thinking. Blech.
I offer this link in the spirit of sharing what I found in my efforts to find a picture of one of these signs. Apparently these are not "official" campaign signs and are produced by a special interest group. Big whoopee squat. I hate the ethical slight-of-hand behind these stunts where the candidate professes his discontent while backers sling slop.
How many more weeks of this nonsense?
