Lots of people have asked me why it took Jimmy so long to get married. He dated a lot of girls before he finally the Republican billboards will disappear soon.

controversial signs showing the gnarled hands reaching for the little girl are to be re placed as soon as new signs can be printed. It was revealed last night by a prominent Republican official that the new posters will reveal why the little girl is in danger on the streets of Pittsburgh. Republicans succeeded in getting their billboards posted with the "clutching hand" signs only after they went into court and obtained on order compelling the Pittsburgh Outdoor Advertising Co. to perform its contract. TOO GRUESOME Henry Asner company said the posters were "too gruesome" and gave the city an unnecessarily bad name.
