The George W. Bush, 'Miss Me Yet' Mystery Billboard

by the Left Coast Rebel

A story, a tale, a billboard of reminisce told by Bob Collins at MPR (Minnesota):

It was late at night and I wasn't sure I'd seen the billboard correctly as I whizzed past it on I-35 in Wyoming last week on the way back from Wrenshall. But an e-mailer confirms I saw what I thought I saw.

It's beginning to sweep along the Internet, accompanied by various claims that it's a Photoshop fake. But it's not. It's real.

There's no billboard ownership plate on this particular billboard, making tracing the person who had the cash to post it difficult to find. It's time to crowdsource this puppy.



The billboard on I-35 in Minnesota, called an urban legend but rumored (now) to be real.

NPR has the scoop (oh and how I hate to source them). A bit of a buzz is swirling the net - to find out just who paid to put up this 'Miss Me Yet' George W. Bush billboard. Let me know if you find the suspect, I may even earn a 'reward' or something.

UPDATE: Another Black Conservative doesn't think the billboard is ironic.

Confederate Yankee thinks that NPR is amusing.

The Lonely Conservative thinks that 'I'm not an idealogue's record is not funny.

Trog smells barley pops.

Miss me yet?

  1. I don't know if you caught this post I did, but I went out to a couple of thrift stores Friday night and there were a lot of Obama shirts on the racks.

    Made me think of the picture that is now a billboard. Great stuff!

  3. i would agree with about 25% with what he said there my friend. we must always consider those things he tried to do but failed like privatize social security. this can have a big effect on the things he would have done if passed.

    we need to consider another thing too when implying a smaller government by conservatives.
    1. does it mean just spending less money on the programs already existing as it seems that some are implying?
    2. does it mean simply eliminating some programs and if so which ones?
    3. does it mean that some programs are not allowed to expand if allowed to remain?

    you want to know the truth, i have never heard anyone really define clearly what they mean by less government and i think it shows when the libs make accusation of hypocrisy when certain programs are seen as being made bigger. no one ever really defends it based upon conservative ideas of government.

  5. @ Soloman - Great post! I ran across a similiar theme yesterday too, I'll post on that and send some traffic your way.

    @ Griper - I wish that we could sit down for an evening and discuss these things. I agree that part of history's judgement should be what he tried to do. I love your points here. I beleive that many programs should be phased out, many should be shut down and others simply stopped the growth of.
