Americans for Prosperity, a national organization with a Tennessee presence that opposes a gas tax increase, supports a reduction in the Hall tax and seeks paycheck protection laws, will have volunteers knocking on doors today in Knoxville's state House 13th District represented by Republican Rep. Eddie Smith.

When Ogles checked with Rachel Cross, an AFP field director assigned to Knoxville, on where some 20 volunteers would be today, he reported back, "Whatever suburbs are in Eddie Smith's district."

You have to wonder if this isn't a piece of troll work by George Korda being in a hissy fit because Troy Goodale unfriended him on Facebook. The style definitely fits.

I'll sic my pit bull on them.

Actually, I won't. Baby Hippo'd just lick them to death. I, myself am far more frightful when I take the notion to be.
Are people going to finally get wise to this bunch?

Via Bette Midler today

It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” — Joseph Heller, Catch-22
