On a side note, there is this long-standing billboard near the freeway in Chehalis[sup]\*[/sup] that is adorned with a pathetic Uncle Sam. The message I saw on Tuesday, on the side facing Southbound traffic said, “_why so many who don’t want to make america great again?_” \*you see very few static billboards in WA state because of state laws, but the guy that originally put it up decades ago argued successfully that it was non-commercial and on private property; of course, there are plenty of those animated signs and billboards, especially on casino land, that really ought to be fucking illegal ---

The Uncle Sam is different – a little less classic looking than the original. Still the same far-right nonsense, though. The local newspaper [ran an article a few weeks ago](http://www.theolympian.com/news/local/article180237826.html) marking the 50th anniversary of its having been there. There’s actually two billboards, one facing north and the other facing south. I just sort of groan and shake my head whenever I’m travelling to or from Portland and I read whatever nonsense he’s got up there now. ---
