It seems they were afraid of someone stealing their sign. Or reading it.

there is no such thing as history. there are only historians.

Frontpaged!

Anyway, it seems to say "trapped, embattled, claustrophobic, afraid." It certainly does not speak to a vision of the future, or even a break from the present.

'May the Clinton campaign rest in peace.'

If only we could say we've reached that point! She's not planning to go anywhere soon, folks. The US is Hill and Bill and Chelsea's plaything. They have their issues with us, they have their demands. They've been slighted, we don't know class and quality when see it. They'll save us from ourselves. Got it?

That fresh growth in front has an energy lacking in the faded colors of the sign. Organic growth just can't be beat!
