Tales from the Empire...

...the barbarians lay waste to suburbia...(well, ok...Krispin's front lawn. But it sounds more dramatic this way).

I like Mrs. Leydon's reason for leaving the sign as it is: "it shows how desperate the local Bush supporters are."

In a stupid sort of way, it reminds me of the Northern Irish habit of spray painting politcial slogans and murals onto the sides of houses. Not that the USA is anywhere near as divided as that (yet!), and I say stupid because it appears that the Bush supporters in question lack even the artistic ability to use black spray paint to obscure white text on a sign.
