Big Connin' on K Street

I'm blogging from the Mothership today, Campaign for America's Future headquarters at 1825 K Street. And what should my eye spy when I ducked out for a snack just this morning? A slick, big fat bus ad with a joyous picture of a blushing African American bride and groom and the legend, "Married people earn more money."

Quelle coincidence! I just exposed that yesterday as a screaming right-wing lie, or at least made up statistical sophistry.

The agency being advertised—on precisely the block where the highest density of influential policymakers will see it, and, if gullible, take it seriously—is MarriageWorksUSA.com. The sponsoring organization is Campaign for Our Children, Inc., which shows no Nexis hits in U.S. media, so who knows what foul right-outfit is actually footing the bill. Love their web address, though: cfoc.org.

C.

Foc.

.Org.

Because the c's just keep on foc(k)ing us.

In organized fashion.
