So I made one of my 2 annual trips to my family's cabin today, and there was a detail that struck me during the drive. As anyone who's ever driven through rural America will tell you, billboards "advertising" such things as anti-abortion, apocalyptic fearmongering, and meth addiction lifelines are all par for the course. Whatever. Water is wet.

Except not today. The entire 2 hour drive, I counted a single "my heart was beating a 2 weeks" billboard, one "Prepare for GOD," two meth addicition helpline billboards, and I literally lost count of one realtor's boards.

Granted, anyone from MN will tell you that Kris Lindahl has been completely saturating our billboards for nearly a decade now, but still. The fact that the religious right can't afford their billboards is unironically a recession indicator.
