Fill in the Blank


The Commercial Appeal has learned what astute viewers of ads for State Senator Marsha Blackburn might already know. In this story the CA discovers that an out-of-state group is producing and funding some ads. The Club For Growth is paying for a series of TV ads that promote Blackburn's strong anti-tax background.

Unfortunately for the CA, when they contacted Stephen Moore, who is also an economist and senior fellow for libertarian think tank The Cato Institute, he was voluble and forthcoming. He answered all questions openly and fully! Oops. No secrecy to gin up.

The Club's URL is visible, if not glaring, in their ads. Sadly for CA readers, they fail to provide one in the story, as is often the case with them and their targets. I'm glad to correct the omission.

Until next time, that is all.
