The Profit, Ben Franklin & Momma Grizzly: Oh my!
Sept. 10, 2010 — Tea Party fever is sweeping the nation, making Congressional candidates out of average Joes and spreading resentment between the people and the government that serves them. Wherever there’s resentment and bitterness, there’s Rufus.
Join Rufus “Junior” Hickman, Jr., on the campaign trail as he trades in his grass smoking for grassroots barnstorming in the comedic political romp “The Hick Arrives at the Tea Party,” the new book that skewers Tea Party politics and feels the pain of the mild-mannered, everyday folks who succumb to Tea Party propaganda. The book is available now for $9.12 at http://terrydugan.com/bookstore.
Recruited to run as a Tea Party candidate for his uncanny ability to say incomprehensible things in plain English, Rufus hits the gravel to convince the folks of Nebraska’s 3rd District that he’s the right outlaw to serve their needs, which may or may not include the preservation of personal liberty and the legalization of marijuana.
But when he finds out the people don’t really need liberated, his conversion to pragmatism troubles the Tea Party faithful who bring in the big guns, including Ben Franklin, The Profit and Momma Grizzly (assuming they can raise enough money). As the oncoming storm intensifies, Rufus is faced with the choice of faux-liberty or death. Luckily, he has his trusty, dilapidated tornado shelter to hide in.
Can Rufus convince the good people of Nebraska to join in his 420 Project? Will it be a tearful ending for Rufus or can personal liberty really prevail? Bring on the tears (just make sure they’re real…).
