Okay. It's time to play a little pile-on-the-jackass. This smug sonofabitch is a professor who admits to stealing lawn signs. His name is PHIL BUSSE.
Highway 19 is a busy six-mile stretch of meandering road that links to main interstate artery in southeast Minnesota. More interestingly, the road connects rural, and often conservative, Minnesota to the liberal college town of Northfield. Rolling through pumpkin patches and apple orchids, the highway is postcard beautiful. This summer and autumn it was speckled with McCain signs, their cobalt blue squarely set against the gold and red of fall foliage.By early October, however, there were no McCain-Palin campaign signs on the eastbound stretch of Highway 19. It wasn't because loyalties had switched, but because I pulled them out.
And that goes for the oversized 4 x 8 foot mini-billboard in front of the ranch-style farm house. It barely fit in the back of my Subaru. But I carted it away with seven other lawn signs that, like a ninja under the cover of cloudy Minnesota night, I "removed."
By the way, Doofus, it's an apple orchard, not an apple orchid.
Anyway, where might we find this guy, PHIL BUSSE?
He tells us in the article that he is a visiting professor at St. Olaf College.
And here is his smiling boss; Dean of St. Olaf College, James M. May.
More contact info follows . . .

How did I know he drove a Suburu?
Liberal Colleges and Universities in the Upper Midwest / Great Lakes region appreciate political Criminals. (See Ayers, Dohrn). He only wishes he could’ve done more.
If it makes anyone feel any better, I ran over 2 “Change” yard signs in the last 2 days ;-)
The first and last letters in his name need to be exchanged for a “P” and a “Y”.
Cut off his hair and send him to Afghanistan. See if that wipes the Shiite eating grin off his doofus face.
I drive a “Subaru”.
I prefer to "annoint" them with my dogs "unholy water". For some reason he can tell the Palin/McCain signs form the O'Biden signs. He is a good conservative dog.
And, yes, stealing campaign signs is a crime. But because campaign laws regulate that candidates cannot give out gifts or anything beyond “de minimis” value, a political lawn sign, by its very definition, has no value. Technically, according to the Minnesota sheriff’s department, I could be charged with misdemeanor theft or trespassing.A small yard sign costs $5 to $15. I bought mine via the McCain website, I have 5, they cost about $7 apiece. The bigger yard signs are much more expensive. This man, Busse, is a liar and an admitted thief.
How many signs has he taken dozens? -- he may have moved into major felony theft territory. I hope he does get arrested and fined, if not serve some time. Also dis-barred, if he is a lawyer.
What a scumbag!
If you do find him, can I have one of those signs? Mine was stolen.
No kidding.
Do these things come from the factory with left-wing bumper stickers? Subaru actually did market research that showed that they had a disproportionate share of leftists and gays as customers and started advertising in The Nation and other leftist publications. Advertising in anti-capitalist publications is humorous in itself. (apologies to conservatives who also drive them, I realize there are exceptions)
Yup. This likely was a career move for him. Maybe he was passed-over for tenure, or his contract was up, or something.
hey man, i’m a hard core conservative and love my subie!
And I am sure you are an upright guy. Around here, the only Lesburu drivers are metro tree huggers and the flannel female set.
Excepting the STI guys who seem normal if misguided.
Well, it had to be a tossup between a Subaru and a Volvo. Since he lives up north, the 4wd Subaru is the logical choice. And, of course, all professors think logically.
That might get some good men killed. A solo mission to Tehran would be better. First the HANO insertion into Iraq...
Rememeber the Martina Navrotalova (sp) campaign they did with the slogan “We’re just built different?”
I read a post where some guy had hooked 120 VAC to his McCain-Palin signs, and some kid was shocked while trying to steal them. That would leave you wide open for legal troubles.
However, another poster suggested that you could “anoint” your McCain-Palin yard signs with essence of poison ivy. Don’t forget your rubber gloves ;)
hey man, i’m a hard core conservative and love my subie!
Please read my last line. My brother-in-law does too and he makes me look like a lib.
