I was speeding through Georgia this past Sunday and I couldn't help looking for political billboards. Then I saw it. A "Now Hiring" billboard for state troopers, with instructions to apply at gatrooper.com.

Of course, after concluding that Georgia is experiencing a state trooper shortage, I drove faster. Why not, right?
