2. Mccain/Palin sign owners are in need of catharsis
Main Entry:
ca·thar·sis Listen to the pronunciation of catharsis
Pronunciation:
\kə-ˈthär-səs\
Function:
noun
Inflected Form(s):
plural ca·thar·ses Listen to the pronunciation of catharses \-ˌsēz\
Etymology:
New Latin, from Greek katharsis, from kathairein to cleanse, purge, from katharos
Date:
circa 1775

1: purgation2 a: purification or purgation of the emotions (as pity and fear) primarily through art b: a purification or purgation that brings about spiritual renewal or release from tension3: elimination of a complex by bringing it to consciousness and affording it expression
-------------------

May I suggest Mccain/Palin sign owners wrestle in the nude, in a giant pool of multi-colored kindergarten poster paints - That'd take care of the art portion of the definition.

Follow the above with wild orgies in fairy forests (or Stonehenge) - That'd take care of the release of tension, pity and fear.

Top it all off with the afflicted sign owners taking a box of Ex-Lax (super duper, maximum strength) - as a means of complete elimination. If they don't feel spiritually renewed then they'll certainly feel 25 pounds lighter.
