Right wing billboards along I-94? [View all]

PZ Myers, biology professor at the University of Minnesota at Morris, writes:

It’s another travel day for me — there have been too many of these lately, and no respite in sight — and I just now got off the road, the usual I94 to the Minneapolis/St Paul airport, and I noticed a remarkable change in the character of the billboards as I passed Albertville and entered the outer ring of middle class suburbs that surround the city. Suddenly, in addition to the usual billboards advertising gas, food, hotels, and the evils of abortion (seriously, people, don’t get too excited about those sporadic atheist signs, because Pro-Life Across America has saturated the rural Midwest, at least, with Smilin’ Baby ads), I saw jewelry stores, Colorado ski vacations, and cosmetic surgery ads everywhere. I had entered Michele Bachmann’s district.

The place was also full of billboards touting the perfidy of Amy Klobuchar (Democrat, don’t you know), urging me to vote for the anti-gay marriage amendment, and even more irritating, ads claiming that Minnesota is number one in voter fraud, and we must do something about it.

I don't know what skiing and cosmetic surgeries have to do with the nature of Michele Bachmann's district, but I see Myers's point.

Oh, the George W. Bush "Miss Me Yet?" billboard also was posted north of Minneapolis/St. Paul, at I-35 instead of I-94 though.
