I use one to keep my dog in the yard. I've inadvertently touched it a few times, including soaking wet and barefoot after getting out of the pool and having the hound bump into me. The good news is, while it hurt like hell, he got it too- right through me. Made me swear like a sailor and him yelp like crazy.

Ben probably figures right- those gullible red state yokels will buy anything if you wrap it in mom, apple pie, an American flag and a couple Bibble quotes

Not to mention what will happen to local and state politics when half a million or so Democrat civil servants suddenly move in.

I love the fact that tin-eared Repuglicans <i>still</i> think "Born in the USA" is a conservative song. It took Springsteen actively campaigning for Obama to dent that little delusion.

It would take as long as it took the Kochbros to find the Zip code for Nebraska.
