in every single county in the United States.
(True story: I emailed him assuring him that Fairfax County, VA had been taken care of as I had named my penis the Ronald Wilson Reagan memorial prick. Never heard back from him, I wonder why.)

Bob Barr used to be my representative, and I actually had several email exchanges with him. While we didn't agree on much he was at least thoughtful and took the time to lay out his reasons for his views. I don't see him as being as extreme as most teabaggers, merely a right winger whom I usually disagree with.
