On the Daily Paul I saw a post about a Ron Paul sign on a truck visible from streetview:

and wanted to point out how Google has apparently "censored" images of my Ron Paul Liberty Corvette. I was the corvette on Hwy 55 in Southaven MS in April of last year when I saw the google car pass by me on the other side of the freeway. I thought "Cool, in a while the Liberty Corvette will be visible on google street view". Several months went by and I would check streetview and sure enough, images identified as April 2013 were on Hwy 55 in the southbound lane (I was northbound) right up until the point where I would have started to be in view and then the images revert back to November 2011! At first I thought they just hadn't updated all the images so I waited... and waited. When I saw the post at the Daily Paul about the Ron Paul sign on his car, I went back and checked again. This time I continued southbound and found that as soon as the google car had passed the stretch of highway where I would have been visible, the new April 2013 images appear again.
Wow!! What are the chances that google had a "technical issue" that resulted in the images from that little section of highway were unusable?? Nah, I know they just cut them out for whatever reason. I guess they didn't want to appear "political"...
Oh, here's a link if you want to check it out:
