Kimball Tops Himself
Wish I had a photo: on Jack Kimball's billboard near the Portsmouth traffic circle, it reads: Obama is running guns to Al Qaeda. Somehow I kept my car going straight. This should help undecideds with sanity go for our side. And if you want lawn signs that say: Stop The Craziness, Retore Respect and Common [...]
