'The note said “Get out of election or your next!!!”'

I thought handin' out dead possums in Tennessee was a way of buying votes.

Walkin' around marsupials, if you will.

A possum in every pot. He could have woke up with it in his bed. An offal he can't refuse.

That'll learn ya.

Well, we know the perp is a product of public schools. And he was willing to sacrifice his supper to make a point.

plus "someone had thrown a pumpkin through his largest sign that was in front of the old Doyle Shirt Factory"

Scary stuff. In France, I think this behavior was called The Reign (or possibly Rain) of Terror.

Mr. Spivey won, btw.

Five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight.
