I find it interesting that he worked for the National Wild Turkey Foundation, cause it sounds like a lot of [Wild Turkey](http://www.wildturkeybourbon.com/) goes into his thought processes.

Dear Rep. Couchspot,  
I am Lansing A. Boyle, Ecuriel. I am married to Javalena Watchpot-Boyle, and neither of us like the idea of using our actual name on the internet. We rarely use them in real life. I’m pretty sure, Rep. Cooch, that you don’t use your real name in real life, either. I have documents showing that you are really Time Crotch, of the Rabbit Hash Crotches. Ha!
