What would we do without TPM Reader DK? He comes up with some of our best tips. And just now he wrote in suggesting something I’ve thought of many times before: a contest for the most audaciously egregious name for an astroturf group. So, you know, the Albert Schweitzer Society, a pro-pharma group trying to prevent any law cost drugs from getting to Africa. Or maybe Americans for the Future, anti-estate tax lobby. Anyway, DK writes in with this gem: Oregonians for Food and Shelter. They seem to be a pro-pesticide group.
