No one would have ever anticipated it.

Except people who happened to have bothered to look at his bogus history.

It told me everything I needed to know.

:hi: :patriot:

edit: I did some freeway (actually rural highway) blogging during the 2006 elections! The signs only stayed up a couple of hours during the early morning rush hour into my blue Democratic city from a Republican suburban area but it was well worth the effort!

74. Excel will print huge graphics sheet by sheet
you have to either stretch a graphic with words or else key in the font size eg. 220, 400 etc. Excel does a great job of tiling the output so that you dont need oversized paper, just 8.5x11 and some cardboard to tape it to.

is sitting out in our front yard as we speak. Not exactly a freeway, but it is the main drag through the town. We had 4 honks before the sign was even completely up!

33. yes, it's me...
and I don't know how to navigate this site very well. thank you all and please believe me: all I do is paint a bunch of signs, stick them in the truck and drive around looking for cool places to put them. I can't emphasize enough how easy and how much fun this is to do.

just put the words in front of the people: that's all there is to it.

any questions? write me at freewayblogger@yahoo.com peace, scarlet

I was just visiting there, and where there is an old train stuck across the overpass it got me thinking of your exploits. You rock freeway blogger! :toast: :thumbsup:

BTW did you do the BUSH LIED one on Bell Road off 80? Very gutsy whoever did that. I am up in this blood red area and also nearly crashed when I saw that. It only lasted one day. Still working up the courage to do one myself!

Thank you for the awesome work that you do!

Btw, a quote I found on your site -- "Man has no right to kill his brother, it is no excuse that he does so in uniform. He only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder." Percy Bysshe Shelley -- inspired me to make a stand-alone post on it: Man has no right to kill his brother...

You'll figure out the site -- It's pretty user friendly. Be sure to check out the Lobby. There you will find links not only to forums, but to groups as well. (Groups are dedicated to a particular mission. And that you have a star, you are allowed to post in them.)

60. Don't know if it was you
or not, FB, or one of your successors, but last December I saw a sign in the middle of the DESERT that said, Impeach The Idiot". I mean, I was in the middle of absolutely NOWHERE, and I'm guessing that the few desert rats that were around were probably right-leaning or Libertarian types. So nice to see freedom of speech in action.
