Yard Sign problem in Johnson County, Ks

There was a letter to the editor in the KC Star. A homeowner in Mission Hills (one of the ritziest, old money areas in the whole Kansas City area, put up an Obama Sign. They got an anonymous letter asking them to please take the sign down. The sign was too embarrassing to the neighborhood.

The midwest is just the strangest place to live. People here are eitherf really right wing or really lift wing. No middle.

Old Money.

I don't know them. Big houses like that actually give me the creeps. And I think Lexus automobiles are justplain ugly. It is fun to drive through that neighborhood at Xmas just to see the tasteful and beautiful decorations.

Can you imagine what the gas bill on a 26 room house would be?

I think George Brett lives out there. And some other athletes, too.

Too funny.

And make a sign out of an enlargement of the letter and post it next to the Obama sign.

Just right wing in the bottom line is the most important thing in life sense.

Those are the money people.
