The Usual Suspects

Caught Red Handed and Red Faced. Now we know who's been taking down the Lambros signs up and down the Cape. Why it is none other than George D. Bryant, the Assembly Delegate from Provincetown.

While we might expect some deviant behaviors from Provincetown natives, kleptomania is not one of the approved of vices of the Cape-tip town or the Democratic party.

Scene of the Crime. Shortly after 7PM, on Tuesday, after attending an O'Leary fundraiser, Lance Lambros, County Commissioner from Sandwich, running for re-election, stopped by the corner of Route 28 and Yarmouth Road in Hyannis, to retrieve a 6' campaign banner that had been bungee-corded to a chain link fence, earlier that evening. But the banner had disappeared!

Crime of Opportunity. Upon arriving at the scene, Lambros encountered a white four door sedan, with the motor running and a 76 year old white male inside. Thinking he would inquire if this elderly gentleman had seen anything, Lambros instead found the missing banner in the back seat of the car. Imagine the shock and amazement upon finding his colleague, Assembly Delegate Bryant, behind the wheel.

Conspiracy? Bryant's delight at having scored such a big prize that evening was alas, short-lived. It's obvious Bryant is not supporting Lambros' candidacy. He is supporting one of the other candidates in the race, the other Democrat, from Chatham. But did Bryant have help in the disappearance of the other Lambros signs? Maybe from other Assembly Delegates from the Lower Cape that support his opponent as well? An awful lot of signs have gone missing in Harwich and Dennis.

More Than Signs Missing. For God sakes man, are you out of your mind? You don't have enough to do representing the residents from P-Town? Maybe the Speaker of the Assembly should appoint you to a County Task Force. Better yet, give you detention after the Assembly meetings, or assign you some extra homework.

By the way George, I'm missing some signs from the same neighborhood. Any idea what happened to them?
