My New Hero

It used to be Abe Lincoln, but Wanda Jo Pelletier Stapleton (geez, can't she shed one of those names) is cruising to the top of the list.

Here's why. Barack Obama, I'm thinking that if you need some help with your nomination speech in a couple of months, perhaps you could give ol' Wanda Jo a call.

My favorite line? "[The new sales tax] is a scheme which will make a few of the wealthiest people in this city even wealthier, at public expense." Just beautiful.

(And, in case you're wondering just what in the world those three paragraphs were about, Stapleton is a former Oklahoma State Rep. who is crusading to stop the implementation of a new OKC sales tax to fund improvements to the Ford Center. Link found courtesy of True Hoop).
