No word on identity (any interested reader can call down and find out – it’s a public record) but word is the cops nabbed someone last night at the Lake Avenue circle. He was stealing signs of both political parties, apparently fueled by a desire to beautify his neighborhood and, possibly, a few too many scotches. He couldn’t post bail, which is why he is being held until Monday, and his lack of ready cash makes me wonder if he’s not a Round Hill Road resident. Ric? Walt? You guys still at home?

I hate those signs. And I know I have asked before, but tell me again why those are all over town but nobody can put up a “FOR SALE” sign?
First Amendment – political speech, but isn’t removing a sign from public property also political speech?
