<\/p>\nOne of my least favorite political chores is picking up and replacing damaged and lost lawn signs. But at five bucks a pop and with a limited supply I knew I had to put some back up on 21st Ave east when I saw them badly abused along with their lawnsign partners, the Dana Krivogorsky signs. At the bottom of the hill I discovered that one midnight author had decided to amend my sign to, I guess, humiliate me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am indebted to the anonymous vandal who thinks a man should not stoop to “woman’s work.” I’ve put it in my<\/em> front yard and from now on will put any other signs of mine which are defaced right next to it. As for being a dreaded house husband<\/em>, its true that baby boom boys were raised to be “bread winners” but a couple bad breaks put me in the position to test whether I could walk the talk. The “talk” was my 45-year conviction that women and men are equals. Being an equal meant valuing the work of women with the respect it deserved and not looking down on traditional roles. I was at home most of the time that our children grew up and they didn’t turn out so badly – a daughter with a masters in Education and a son a year away from completing a Chemistry\/Physics doctorate at one of the nation’s top 20 universities in the field of science. <\/p>\n Besides, had I not been a “house husband” I would never have begun the hobby that makes all Duluth smile every winter- snow sculpting. While I have not bragged about being a house husband I’ve not shied away from the label. The following admission is taken from a post last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Hillary\u2019s sins were often petty as for instance when she told reporters that she wanted to do more than bake cookies. As a house husband myself<\/em> when she said this I was mortally wounded but I got over it.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n I owe a debt of gratitude to the anti-feminist ridicule bestowed on me. That sign will help me win a much larger share of the house husband vote and, with the shaky economy of recent years, its probably enough to assure my reelection.<\/p>\n I’ve now relocated the sign to my front yard. 40,000 drivers and passengers who pass by will see it every day until the election on November 7th.<\/p>\n One of my least favorite political chores is picking up and replacing damaged and lost lawn signs.
