WHAT POLITICIANS SHOULD LEARN FROM CATS

The November elections  are long behind us but you’d never know it by the array of campaign signs that still litter our roads and public rights-of-way  across the land.  It’s bad enough that we the people have to endure months of crass and coarse political name-calling, verbal warfare and patently false advertising  leading up to election day in November; but to be constantly reminded of that months after the election is over is almost more than the gg's grouch meter can withstand.   My two cats do their pooping in their litter boxes but when they’re through, thankfully they cover it up immediately and don’t leave it uncovered to stink up the house.  If only our polluting politicos could learn something from them.  Yesterday, I watched two NFL playoff games on TV.  By now, with the games over,  the fans have left, the players have showered and returned to their million dollar homes, the stadium bleachers have been swept and  cleaned of trash and debris and the lights have been  turned off.  Why can’t  politicians  cover up their litter and remove their signs after their games are over?    The answer is probably that they aren’t required to.  The gg has a fix for that:  I propose a 15-day grace period after each election for politicians to remove their signs from public rights of way ; any signs  not removed after that date would subject the politician or his campaign fund  to a fine of X dollars (to be determined by each municipality) for each day that the signs remain.   I plan to launch a campaign to put my proposal into action.  May I please have permission to place a campaign sign on your property?
