My Obama Sign

Sometime after dark on the night of June 10/11, somebody stole my Obama sign.
Swiped it right off my front lawn, probably put it in the back of a jacked up pickup truck with an American flag decal in the back window and drove off listening to Darryl Worley's "Have You Forgotten," hootin' and hollerin'.

"Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right."

Yeeeee-Hawwwwww!

I wish I had caught 'em. Caught them taking my Obama sign and the others that once stood tall on front lawns in this small town, harmlessly proclaiming a preference during this contentious time, as American as that American flag on the back window of the jacked up pickup truck.

I don't know what I would have said to them, had I caught them. It would have been hard for me not to beat the living hell out of them, but I suspect had I tried, I would have gotten the hell beat out of ME. And they would have been hootin' and hollerin' the same time.

Can you hear it?

The music?

It's Darryl Worley's "Have You Forgotten" playing from those speakers in that truck that holds my fucking Obama sign.

"Have you forgotten how if felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?"

I haven't.

That's why I put the Obama sign in my yard.

The Obama Rally

These photos were taken at the Barack Obama rally in Mitchell, S.D., Sunday afternoon, June 1 with my wife's little Canon Elf 600.

You think he's good on TV, you should hear him in person.

Love it

This is from the Feb. 13, 1908 edition of the Freeman Courier:

An old man lately said that when we see so many young men with their hair parted in the middle and hanging down over their foreheads so as to obscure every trace of intellect and so many young women with their hair all frizzly-frowsly and flopping around over their face in fifty different directions, we are not surprised that the followers of Darwin are now positively sure that mankind descended from the monkey.

Classic.
