Westminster, MD - - This is the season for signs.

Recently your intrepid blogger found this group of signs at Main Street and the railroad tracks in Westminster MD.

Mystery surrounds just what Ms. Mona Lisa is running for.

In a related matter, we asked Westminster’s administrator of economic development, Stanta Ruchlewicz, about the economic impact of the Carroll County election season. “Well, ya know, it brings dollars into downtown Westminster,” remarked Mr. Ruchlewicz. “Recently it is about the only thing that’s happening in these parts.”

Asked if he knew just what office Ms. Lisa was running for, Mr. Ruchlewicz responded, “Don’t know. Don’t really care as long as the mysterious sign brings money into Westminster. It’s kinda neat, if I may say so myself.”

Asked how long the sign for Ms. Lisa has been at the intersection, “Don’t know. Been kinda busy recently,” remarked the assistant director for parks, buildings, streets, water, wastewater, kitchen sinks, development review, planning, fly swatters, public works, fleet management, kite flying, road sign, grass clippings removal, utilities maintenance and the soundtrack division of old silent movies.

Marianne Sheehan, the administrative assistant for the assistant director for parks, buildings, streets, water, wastewater, kitchen sinks, development review, planning, fly swatters, public works, fleet management, kite flying, road sign, grass clippings removal, utilities maintenance, letters and art, heavy metal music and the soundtrack division of old silent movies, remarked that the sign “looked good in that location and that it went well with the overall ambiance of downtown Westminster.”

Wayne Reifsnider, the assistant superintendent for streets, buildings, and parks said, “Well, ya know… Well, it’s a free country and people have a right to put up signs on private property, ya know. But I don’t know, ya know. Then on the other hand, well, ya know, it’s a neat sign and I just do my job. Mind my own business, ya know. Well, I best be moving along. See ya.”

More on this developing story as the city continues to unravel.

Xtreme Sheehan defends ugly sheep

News recently reached Crawford Texas that Australian scientists have called on the country’s farmers to report any ugly sheep found in their flocks.

A campaign called “Xtreme Sheehan sheep” aims to study sheep with undesirable Sheehan-like wool features to unlock the genetic makeup of the prized merino and ensure production of its high quality fleece.

Upon hearing the news, Cindy Sheehan was outraged, “We’re the one getting fleeced.”

Ms. Sheehan, who has for over forty days and forty nights, been on a milkshake-for-worldpeace and misunderstood-terrorists fast, weakly rose from her cot in an almost Ghandi-like manner to say, “The Australian genocidal practices against sheep are just another example of the failed Bush international diplomacy. Now sheep around the world are going to hate us.”

As her followers knelt before her in hushed tones, Ms. Sheehan continued, “That lying bastard, George Bush. You get that maniac out here to talk with me. My son died for oil. He died to make your friends richer. He died to expand American imperialism in the Middle East – and now Australia. He died to make sheep, worldwide free from the tyranny of the Bush administration.”

The South Australian Research and Development Institute said on Tuesday its search for “Australia’s ugliest merino lambs” may hold the key to securing the nation’s A$2.8 billion (US$2.1 billion) wool industry. Additional money has been requested to keep Cindy Sheehan out of the country.

The institute said ugly lambs — with uneven wool, strange fibers, clumps of wool that fall out, bare patches, no wool, or highly wrinkled skin — are usually culled by farmers.

“As many as one out of every three sheep are butt ugly,” further elaborated a spokesperson for the Foundation for Beautiful Sheep.

Responding to rumors that her campaign to end the terror and oppression of sheep will likely get her arrested later today, Ms. Sheehan whispered softly, “Now I know how Mickey Mouse feels at Disneyland”

Asked for a final comment, Ms. Sheehan responded, “Where’s my gawd-damned milkshake. I’m feeling weaker and light in the head.”
