I cocked my eyebrows. Was this the iceberg-tip of a silent, hidden trend? I almost shook off my sloth to fire up Movable Type and crank out a blog post:
Republican doom – McCain support in the heartland crumbles!
But I didn't.
This morning, Martha opened up the garage again and put the signs back up. Apparently she didn't want them blown away by the 60mph winds we had yesterday.
Surprise last minute surge – McCain comes storming back!
After the first paragraph, I expected you to find that the sweet little old lady had been getting death threats over her signs. That would have been a much more exciting post. And then when she put them back, you could have lauded her courage in deciding not to knuckle under to the Forces of the Lightworker.
And both posts would have conformed to current journalistic standards! (Er, as long as you studiously avoided asking her about it.)

...death threats over her signs.
This is Iowa, remember. Though there apparently has been a bit of underhanded sign warfare going on.
Mr. Lucky Day: I'll deal with you later.
