Capes-n-Babes

During my morning commute to my previous job, there was a four lane stretch of road where, every time during “election season”, the median between the two lanes would be filled with election signs. The thing is though, there would only be two or three candidates running, but that two mile stretch of road would have duplicate signs for those three politicians.

That always struck me as both funny and a little insulting.

Did these politicians think we had so little brain cells that we couldn’t remember who they were that they felt the need to inundate us with their signs every two feet? What? Do all votes have the memory capacity of a goldfish or something?

On a serious note, I understand volunteers are putting up these signs but in a way, that’s even worse. If you’re a volunteer for a certain candidate, I would think you would want to spread your candidate’s signage as far and wide as you possibly can. Instead, you take the 50 signs his or her campaign has given you and you put ALL THOSE SIGNS in a 1 mile stretch of road.

Good job in getting the most bang for your candidate’s donation dollars there…

Now, for those that might be curious as to what G.R.O.W. L. stands for, it’s the Grand Royal Order of the Werewolf League. It’s the same place where Roy pays his $50 dues every month.
