Oh, How My Political Machine Has Fallen



It's a little difficult to see, but a faithful reader stumbled across an "Elect Barry Green For District Attorney" sign (circa 1992) that is now being used as siding for a chicken coop on the east side of Decatur.

That is absolutely freaking hilarious. I know some people in Wise County who use their chicken coop as a pooper.

The owner should be cited. All smart people know to use them for flooring.

Finally, a politician that superceeded the political arena.

Barry, this should teach you that having the top job could end up at the bottom of everything - like once being DA and then diminishing down to a private attorney?

That's a pretty doggone big sign!! It must have cost a pretty penny, even back in '92!

At least the machine didn't have very far to fall.

I could not pass this up, Barry we have accomplished alot, but don't get mad. I saw that and I think about George Strait in Pure Country when the dad says.... U know that the white piece in the middle of the chicken stuff is? still called "chicken stuff", sorry... URE not "chicken stuff". We need u later.....

Don't pick on the environmentalist - recycle and reuse.

By the way who is supposed to pick up the million Ron Paul signs still dotting the countryside?

That reminds me of the house out close to Chico High School that always had those rambling signs up in their front yard. Are they still there? The signs, I mean.

9:06, yes they are still there.

You gotta love a guy who can poke fun at himself. Funny stuff! Perhaps they put it facing out so the chickens would not learn to read, or vote for that matter.
