Spin Control

Annual words of warning

Every year at this time, Spin Control offers some free advice to the thousands of people who have campaign yard signs for their favorite candidate or ballot issue: Put your coffee cup down, go out, pull them out of the ground and put them in the garage, basement or at least the back yard.
Tomorrow is Halloween. Campaign signs make too-tempting targets. If they get stolen, knocked down, ripped or spray painted, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Well, you could blame the miscreants who did it, but finding them will be about as easy as finding anyone with sympathy for your plight.
Save yourself some grief, and put them back out on Tuesday.
