John - Should the good Mr. Dawkins or any of his minions come a knockin', about the placement of your 'llegal' lawn sign, please let me know the time. And for those who want to know the answer to your riddle, about the irony of the lawnsign for Ellen Anderson, one really only need ask, who is the father of her sons.

According to St Paul ordnance any sign - with the exception of realtor signs - are banned for 100 feet from the center of a parkway. This means that a political sign can only be placed in the middle of my yard. I, of course ignore it - and waiting for a serious case of enforcement from the city to file a free speech suit. As a side note - one of the signs regularly displayed on my parkway site is for Sen.Ellen Anderson. I will leave it to the reader to figure out why that is ironic given your post.
