Is that Noam Chomsky in the middle?

Seriously, though. Sounds like an entertaining way to raise money. I'd do it.

Not that anyone would want to buy it or anything.

I'm gonna go climb back in my hole now.

'What sells it is that it's everyday people,' said Morton, whose group is based in Oshkosh, Wis. 'You might open up one of these fundraising calendars and say, 'Wow, there's Paul. I didn't know he had a mole there.''
