"This is the dawning of the Age of . . . Ophiuchus??" There's been a change in the cosmos, and count on DUmmieland to be on top of it! We get the news from outer space here in this THREAD, "What's your sign?" So let us boldly go where no sane person has gone before (save for LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS!!!) and gaze at the DUmmies gazing up at the heavens, in I Am Sirius Red, while the commentary of your Hubble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, whose only sign is the sign of the cross, is in the [brackets]: What's...

A city crosswalk signal has pedestrians in Spokane, Wash., doing a double-take. Officials say the weather -- not a hacker -- is to blame for the malfunction.

The award for Most Enthusiastic Republican Activist of the 2010 cycle goes to... Daniel Patrick Head, of northern Virginia, who's support for Kieth Fimian in the 11th district stops only at the limitations of his kitchen pantry and underwear drawer. At about 2:30 this morning I awoke to random flashing lights in front of my house. Living on a major street [in northern Virginia], I looked through my curtains to see a car pulled up to my yard and a bunch of people trying to remove my giant Fimian sign. Without much of a second thought, I was out of...

In an already nasty election year, outspoken San Francisco defense attorney Tony Serra has unfurled a huge banner in front of his building near busy and tourist-heavy Broadway and Kearny streets in North Beach, stating “F*** Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina.” (snip) “To utterly condemn someone, that’s what the “F” word means to me, and that’s the way it’s intended, but I think they’re a threat to democracy itself. Capitalism cannot buy public office,” Serra said in an interview.

"That’s according to the person whose public relations firm was responsible for the error. "Sometimes out of bad things, some good can happen," Patrick Strickler, president of the Blue Waters Group, said Thursday."

An unidentified Alaska State...

When it comes to politics, there may be as many opinions as cars cruising down U.S. 65. So, naturally, there are different reactions to a billboard south of Ozark that says "Voted Obama? Embarrassed yet?" (snip) "My partner and I felt lots of frustration here lately, and we liked that sign and we thought that was a reasonable question to ask," Steve Critchfield said in a telephone interview on Monday. (snip) Critchfield says he's received death threats due to the sign; people accuse him of hate speech and racism.

HACKENSACK, N.J. -- Just two people in New Jersey will begin receiving coverage Monday under new plans created by federal health care reforms. NJ Protect plans are available to those who have been without insurance for at least six months and submit evidence of pre-existing health conditions.

Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey spokesman Tom Vincz expects more people will enroll in the coming weeks.

Do you remember when Democrats used to defend free speech? That isn't true anymore. Democrats now want to silence the opposition. We might guess it was some free speech hating Democrat(s) who burnt David Jungerman's semi-truck trailer twice because he had this message painted on the side. Are you a Producer or Parasite Democrats - Party of the Parasites Oh, and they torched his farmhouse too.

David Jungerman farms 6,800 acres of river bottom land in western Missouri. (snip) So when the 72-year-old Raytown man wanted to speak out politically, he used what he had handy: a 45-foot-long, semi-truck box trailer. Are you a Producer or Parasite Democrats - Party of the Parasites (snip) They did. Including at least one with a good case of outrage, matches and a can of gas. On May 12, Jungerman’s trailer was torched. The Rich Hill volunteer fire department responded. A week later, it was set afire again. The firefighters put it out again. Then flames erupted in an empty...

The People of Louisiana, specifically, Houma, LA have spoken!

Last year, the second biggest day for female sign-ups on AshleyMadison.com (the dating website for married people) was the day after Mother's Day. Momlogic has exclusively learned that 31,427 women signed up for AshleyMadison.com this year -- which is over ten times the average number of women who typically sign up on any given Monday.

Last year, the Huntington Common Council tried to pass a signage bill that caused a huge backlash from local business owners. It called for limited sign space, amount and placement. The proposal was defeated. In March of this year, they tried again. For a second time, the proposal was defeated. The proposal from the Huntington Planning Commission contained 35 pages and was not business friendly. So back to the drawing board. Now they have planned a vote for this coming Tuesday.

Reporting from Prague, Czech Republic With an agreement to scale back the weaponry of the world's two greatest nuclear powers, President Obama and Russian President Dimitry Medvedev signed a long-sought treaty that still will require the ratification of both governments. One year after unveiling his vision here for a world without nuclear weapons, Obama returned this morning to sign a treaty with the Russian president that both sides call a major step forward on worldwide arms control.

ACAMPO, Calif. (CBS) An anti-Obama sign that had sparked an investigation after being placed near a busy California highway was removed overnight just as local and federal investigators were looking into whether the sign and its almost-obscene phrases was a crime. The sign along Highway 99 in Acampo, Calif., switched letters between words to avoid outright profanity, reading: "Obama = Niggardly," "Hurts small biz," "Buck Ofama," with a sign on the side that reads "Gone fish'n." It's unclear who took the sign down. Although the sign didn't display actual racial epithets -- the word "niggardly" is defined by dictionaries as...

A conservation group warns they have just three weeks to raise $US3 million to save the iconic Hollywood sign from being razed by investors who want to build luxury houses on the site. "We feel good about where we are and we feel good about our chances to do this," said Tim Ahern of the Trust for Public Land. The group needs to raise $US3 million to reach the $US12.5 million needed to purchase the 138-acre parcel of rugged land surrounding the sign from a Chicago-based consortium that has acquired rights to build four luxury mansions along the ridgeline. The...

Three weeks to save Hollywood signThursday, March 25, 2010 » 03:22pm A conservation group says it has just three weeks to raise 3 million US dollars to save the iconic Hollywood sign from being razed by investors who want to build luxury houses on the site.

I need Sign guy or gal in Kenosha, Wisconsin? I want to make some signs about Repealing Obamacare in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This is near Racine and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I need a sign maker that would do it as cheap as possible because obama economy has killed us here! I thought maybe a freeper might know of someone?

Lots of Texans waved political signs for candidates Tuesday. Chris Howe was locked up for it. In a story that sounds like something from behind the Iron Curtain, Watauga police jailed Howe, 29, for holding a campaign sign on public property. He supported Debra Medina. But it wouldn't matter if he supported Kinky Friedman. What matters is that an American city has put a man in jail for free speech. Since 2000, Watauga has specifically outlawed political signs on public property. It's part of your typical city ordinance restricting garage-sale signs and other litter. Somehow, police and city attorneys stretched...
