This is not what I had in mind: Confederate Flag Replaces Obama Sign

Posted by admin on 2008 October 21

According to MyFox Washington DC, “Chesterfield County [VA] police are investigating the theft of a resident’s campaign sign supporting Barack Obama’s historic bid for the presidency. The 4-by-8-foot sign in the yard of a black resident was replaced by a Confederate flag.”

If I can find his mailing address, I will send Leroy C. McLaughlin, owner of said campaign sign, a Rednecks for Obama sign as a replacement. I’m going to see if I can find an address, but meanwhile if anybody reading this knows, let me know.

P.S. - I’ve finally recovered functionally from my disk crash, though there’s still a boatload of data I’m sifting through to try and piece my work back together. Let this be a lesson to you - back up everything! I backed up most of my stuff, and figured I’d get around to backing up the rest at some point.
