[Warpy]

16. You need to specify "in the southern sense."

A lot of us know what that means.

[Donnachaidh]

3. Whatever .....

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is an astroturf front group started by oil billioniare David Koch and Richard Fink (a member of the board of directors of Koch Industries).
AFP works together with the Koch family’s other conservative foundations and think tanks to disrupt Barack Obama's presidency. Accordingly, AFP has opposed health
care reform, stimulus spending, and cap-and-trade legislation, which is aimed at making industries pay for the air pollution that they create. AFP was also involved in
the attacks on Obama’s "green jobs" czar, Van Jones, and has crusaded against international climate talks. According to an article in the August 30, 2010 issue of The
New Yorker, the Kochs are known for "creating slippery organizations with generic-sounding names," that "make it difficult to ascertain the extent of their influence
in Washington."

13. Isn't it astounding how stupid some people are? n/t

[Subdivisions]

12. delete, wrong place. n/t

[gratuitous]

14. And a group called "Americans for Prosperity" has to be founded

Because so many Americans are against prosperity? Or because so many Americans are for prosperity accruing to the "wrong" people? At least the t-shirt is lily white, which should give points for some truth in advertising.

and a gullible buffoon... but he's no 'front'.
