Oh, you just don't know the half of it. If you can find a picture of 
the family, all dressed alike--well, anyway, he's the wingnut who ran 
against Tim (Asa's brother) Hutchinson for the Republican nomination to 
the Senate in 2002. He made a pretty good showing against Tim, who'd 
alienated the family values crowd by dumping his wife of 
twenty-something years for a twenty-something youngster, but not nearly 
enough to win. It was like the 1980 election in reverse, where a hog 
farmer whose name escapes me right now (Monroe Schwartzlose maybe?) ran 
against Clinton for governor and got thirty percent of the vote, 
showing Clinton to be vulnerable in the general election--as was 
Hutchinson, who lost.

Come on down to Arkansaw sometime and I'll point out the Duggar home to 
you. It's not quite as picturesque as the sheriff's house with the two 
red Corvettes out front (just an honest working man who got elected to 
public office and dealt real estate on the side, y'know), but it's 
worth seeing.

All the best,
