Keep America beautiful

Two days and counting since Election Day... If you were the carpool parent or driving to work today, you probably noticed as many election signs today as there were two days ago.

Virtually every town has an ordinance requiring all political signs have to be removed within 10 days of an election. (And yes, that means even if you don’t have a winner yet in your district.)

So, America, get out there and grab a sign. Put it in the trashcan, save it for your memorabilia collection. Take down one if you voted for a candidate. If it makes you feel better, take one down that touted the other guy. Burn ‘em. Mulch ‘em. Get rid of them. This election’s over. It’s time to think about 2008.

2008?! Bob Faw will tell you tonight that for some candidates... it’s never, ever too early to get started.

Why do the voters have to remove the signs? Is it because to politians are to good (or is it to lazy)? We are forced to endure this signs I think if you put up a sign you must take that sign down.
