Sign laws selectively enforced (imagine that!)

The city of Menlo Park, California, is on the warpath against opponents of antigay legislation in that state.

The city has been ordering residents to remove anti-Proposition 8 signs from their yards - after someone who was too chickenshit to identify themselves complained about the signs.

Predictably, there are no reports that pro-Prop 8 signs have been targeted. In fact, pro-Prop 8 signs are still plastered all over telephone poles in other California cities.

I understand the reasons for laws to keep election signs from cluttering public spaces after the election - but these are private homes, not public spaces. And the election hasn't even been settled yet, because Prop 8 is undergoing court challenges.

Damon Thayer let his campaign illegally keep his stupid-ass signs up on the public right-of-way long after the election, but anti-Prop 8 signs on private property get taken down while the election is still pending?

None of this would even be an issue now had conservatives not wasted their time and money placing social engineering horseshit on the ballot in the first place - especially after the courts had already ruled on the matter beforehand. It amazes you that with the worst economy in 75 years and with hunger continuing unabated worldwide, they'd squander their resources on this garbage.
