Now people, let's just all thank almighty God for our federal government. If they didn't dedicate the serious manpower necessary to thwart truly effective grass-roots campaigns like this in the name of compliance with federally-authored arcane traffic signage codes (which apparently are not working, hence the campaign), then we'd all be in deep, deep trouble, my friends.
I for one am very proud to be an American who works hard every day to pay the taxes that fund federal actions like this. That's what I call "Serving the people." I want to start my own grass roots campaign to come up with a really nifty slogan that praises the federal government. Here's one: "The federal government: crispity-crunchity on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside."
