This time of year, it's dark by 8 p.m. Does your career spent at taxpayer expense as a prosecutor, public defender and paper pusher not inform you that campaign volunteers are unlikely to be out planting signs in random yards on a damp Saturday night? Does common courtesy and common sense, assuming you can summon either, not suggest that the better approach for the candidate's sake would be to work in daylight and engage the resident rather than risk wasting a lawn sign or, as in this case, incurring someone's self-righteous wrath ? Does this not sound like a garden-variety prank instead, much like tipping over garbage cans or plucking and plopping a "for sale" sign somewhere else?

It's becoming clearer why the media never considered you a purveyor of facts or truth.
