ok. I'll admit it. I'm a thief. I stole a yard sign today. I have joined the ranks of the elite(or not)group of yard sign hooligans. I stole an Obama/Biden sign.
Ok, I don't know about anyone else, but I have not been able to get one single sign legitimately. So I gave in to my dark side and stole one. I didn't take it from anyone's yard. Along the main road I live on, there were at least 30 Obama/Biden signs leading to the on ramp for I-95 here in South Florida. By the way, there were about 3 McCain/Palin signs. I figured 29 would still get the job done. I took the sign and have it displayed proudly in my yard. I'm not proud of how I had to obtain one, but I want everyone who passes my house, albeit I live in a gated country club community so mainly the people who live here as well, to know that I'm saying it loud: I support Obama and I'm proud!
I know I can't be the only one who has appropriated a sign by any means necessary. How many of you are willing to fess up to getting a sign not for malicious reasons, but out of sheer desperation to have one???? Thirty years from now I want to show my great grandchildren my Obama/Biden sign and tell them the story of how in 2008, America took it's country back! I'm sure they will get a kick out of how their feisty old Granny stole a sign....
p.s.
I was nervous as hell taking that sign. I just knew it was hooked up to some electricity and my ass was going to be laid out in the middle of the street!
