What the hell is a standee?
Those life-size cardboard cutout dealies. I keep trying to find a picture of the one I'm talking about, but really, the 50-foot version wins everything.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Okay, here's a picture of the standee: [link] I just keep thinking that sign he's holding is just BEGGING to be vandalized.

That 50-foot wall painting isn't a campaign thing - it's been up for a couple of years at least. It's an ArtWorks project.

Oh god, the standee looks like some kind of terrifying Halloween thing.

That's what I'm saying! I really did gasp when I drove past it the first time. I think the standee part of his campaign may have been poorly thought-out.

I did know that. But I can't help wondering if the campaign considered hanging a big "WRITE IN JIM TARBELL FOR COMMISSIONER" banner across it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That is deeply alarming.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just saw the hapless GOP gubernatorial candidate's latest grab for attention (his first involved the former banker splitting logs with an axe while wearing flannel, and also this was related to his pet issue, something he called CRAZY TRAIN) -- a recreation of a CHILD DROWNING that HE PERSONALLY SAVES. This is a commercial about teacher tenure.
I came across this guy a bit in the context of my job. I'm hoping he's failed upward about as far as he can go. Because this ad HAS to backfire on him, right?

Also bon baby finally fell asleep just now after 30 minutes of banging his teething keys across the bars of the crib. I half expect him to burst into "Attica! Attica!"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I only know about to he drowning ad because it was covered on the news. Well, really I mn about it because the news teased that they were about to cover it.
