Right Wing Gecko Chamber

Your LakeCountyEye went to the Lake County Fair -- and got schooled. As readers of this blog are repeatedly aware ...
The Big O
The Lake County Republican Party has a booth at the County Fair, flush with yardsigns. Some signs carry a cryptic web address ...
WWW.BIGOVERNMENTSUCKS.NET
While most operatives are familiar with the word SUCKS, it was not exactly clear what it is that sucks. Your LakeCountyEye had speculated that the word BIGOVERNMENT stood for BIG  OVERNMENT or even BI  GOVERNMENT.

In what may be breaking news, your LakeCountyEye has learned it stands for neither. BIGOVERNMENT is a portmanteau that is supposed to mean BIG  GOVERNMENT. Well duh, it's right there printed on the yardsign with the GEICO Gecko:
Your LakeCountyEye probably is not breaking to news to report that the GEICO Gecko is a Registered Trademark of GEICO Inc:
GEICO Store
Trademarks are registered at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

It goes without saying, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is a BIG GOVERNMENT agency most likely located in some BIG GOVERNMENT building.

The GEICO Gecko could not be reached for comment.

Of course the more astute who actually read facts know size of government is the smallest it has been in decades. Maybe it just taking more time to sink in for the Lake County Republican Party, just as its taking more time for Fair organizers to realize the theme of their county fair is for an era of years gone by.

hi Anon,

I don't think I know what the theme of the Fair was.
