Yard signs

Okay, these yard signs are starting to get ridiculous. George W. Bush and John Kerry both have signs that have no colors besides red, white and blue. Okay, we get it. You both are very patriotic, and you have the colors on your yard signs to prove it. Don't you think having to choose from only three colors is creatively stifling though? I can just imagine, if Kerry had put another color, say green, on his signs.

(At the debate)
Bush: My opponent, well, he likes to say he loves America, but his signs, well, green isn't one of the, you know, the colors are red, white and blue.

(Meanwhile, if Bush had a touch of orange on his signs)
Kerry: The president would like you to believe that he has America's interests in mind. What he won't tell you is that Halliburton received a no-bid contract to make his yard signs, and they painted them orange because that color has the highest profit margins.

Anyways, it has been suggested to me before that I run for state senate. That would be a good starting point to a solid political career, but unfortunately there are pictures of me that preclude me ever running for any public office above sanitation director. If I ever did gain prominence in some law making body, I would enact laws that require political candidates to use at least two colors that are not in the set of red, white, and blue. Some may see this as limiting free expression, but I see it as enforcing creativity. Posted by mill1991 at November 1, 2004 10:45 AM | TrackBack
