Internet chatter had led to speculation that it might be an urban myth -- nothing more than clever digital trickery spreading via the Web.
But our friend Bob Collins at Minnesota Public Radio assures us he's seen it with his own eyes:
There is a billboard along I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., with a huge photo of former president George W. Bush and this question: "Miss Me Yet?"
Now, the push is on to find out who paid to have it put up.
Bob says there's no readily apparent claim of ownership on the billboard, so he's heading back to the scene to see if he can find out who's behind the message. He's also got some local politicos looking into it. He'll keep us posted.
At first glance, it would seem to be from some person or group who isn't thrilled by President Barack Obama's performance so far -- unless it's a more ironic message from those who didn't think too much of Bush and want to remind voters about him.
Anyone out there know anything about where it came from? Tell us and we'll pass the word to Bob. As he says, we could do a little crowdsourcing.

Not one bit.
Fox News and NPR said that it was paid for by a group of local business owners in that area that were tired of OBAMANOMICS and the rest of his antics...
I read somewhere that is was a small group of business men out of the Twin Cities who felt they were getting the short end of the stick from the government. I LOVE IT!!!!!
I heard yesterday on a radio report that it was paid for a group of small business men.
And, YES.....I missed him 5 minutes after the election results were announced in 2008.
how much for clear channel to put one up ? I'd contribute
My family has a billboard.....this is a very interesting idea.
Like I miss a boil on my butt.
How can we miss him when he left us so much to remember him by? He took office with a budget surplus and left 8 years, two weird elections that were almost too close to call, and the financial world on the verge of collapse. MISS HIM? Not hardly.
I am with you 912. He was like missing childbirth.
I do miss him. He may not have been a good presenter, but at least he cared about this country. Obama is like Tommy Boy's dad. He could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves, only Obama still sucks.
