I’ve been busy lately…
I’ve been carrying the above sign in my car for awhile, not sure if I should put it up because, well, it is a bit severe. I’ve had a few signs like that, and usually end up talking myself into posting them with the reasoning “Well somebody’s got to do it in this country, and if not you, who?” I’ve always ended up posting them and never regretted it. Thursday was no exception — it looked gorgeous - and given the news on Friday, even seemed a bit prescient.
The difference between freewayblogging and normal freeway bannering is that you use cardboard instead of bedsheets. Cardboard allows you to say more, is far more legible, way better looking, immeasurably easier to painton/work with, and can be placed almost anywhere in a tiny fraction of the time it takes to secure a bedsheet.
“No leaks… This is how we know we’re a real family here.” — Paul Ryan
If you don’t know this quote or its context, click on it: it’s damning. How damning? Ryan absolutely denied it to the Washington Post, until they told him it was on tape. Then he said it was “Just a joke.” It wasn’t. The Rubles fell like rain on the Republican Party in 2016, and when it all comes out there won’t be much left of them.
Here’s one from our mailbox: her first sign.
This is what you need folks. It’s a projector that plugs right into your laptop. Type your message, project it on the cardboard, trace the letters and paint. Afterwards you can watch movies on your wall.
If that’s too pricey, you can get one of these. They’re about 35 dollars on Craigslist/eBay. Print the message onto a transparency and go from there. I bought mine in 2000 for about $100 and cranked out over 5,000 signs through the Bush years. Still works.
Yesterday one of the Twitter hashtags was “#SignsThatYoureABadPresident” I had a bit of a field day with that one…
We’re also on Facebook.
Cardboard, paint and a projector folks: That’s all it takes to make these things. After that it’s just a bit of driving and taking a couple of short walks.
