Comments on: New Progressive Stimulus Signs Just In Time! http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2009/09/new-progressive-stimulus-signs-just-in-time/ In order to form a more perfect blog Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:18:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: JM Hanes http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2009/09/new-progressive-stimulus-signs-just-in-time/comment-page-1/#comment-59880 JM Hanes Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:04:45 +0000 http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/?p=5915#comment-59880 These markers deserve a proper fisking! The highway orange & green camouflage is an inspired, quasi-official touch. Ignore this at your peril. The resemblance to speed limit advisories (America at work: Slow Down!) is not the only irony begging for exploitation here. You'll note that the badly designed contraption is leaning left. Then there is the New! Improved! Red, White, Blue and.... Green recovery, encircled by the ubiquitous, iconic O. The only thing missing is a cautionary Yield in yellow. It's nice that the locals don't have to worry about making their own stimulus signs, isn't it? Your federal government is all about controlling the message. These markers deserve a proper fisking!

The posts are of substandard size and quality (knotty wood)for the size and height of the signs, and the bracing is inadequate. I have seen many stories about motorists being killed by flying highway signs in the news.
