We are all familiar with the fairytale about a wooden marionette named Pinocchio whose one true dream was to be a real boy. Pinocchio tried in every way possible to behave as a real boy would, but could never quite pass. Well, this is a Pinocchioesque tale, of sorts, but rather than a wooden marionette, our main character is a blogger, who we'll just call KFC for short, who fancies himself a real journalist (though he lacks the scruples and objectivity of his legitimate counterparts).
KFC not only thinks of himself as but also purports to be a King maker of sorts, I have personally heard him take credit for Sheriff Tracy Carter's successful campaign as well as a slew of other political goings on across the state. An now, he professes to speak for the Sheriff in political matters, a point which may be disappointingly true.
Through his blog, KFC works to manipulate the political climate in Lee County, NC in favor of the ruling "Good Ol' Boys" providing just enough truth to render even his most far-fetched prevarications believable to unsuspecting visitors to his blog...but reader beware, this deep fried fool is nothing more than a self-aggrandizing wolf in sheep's clothing.
To be fair, it is distinctly possible that KFC is not so much a villainous pseudo pundit (in my opinion, he lacks the intellect and presence of mind to be intentionally thus), but rather a raving, semi-illiterate lunatic, driven mad by his own personal failures and his inability to grab control of the Lee County Republican Party, who has secretly sworn to destroy all those who stand in the way of his goal of world (ok, maybe just county) conquest.
