Okay, this is kinda a nerdy story so I’m gonna keep it simple as I can.

Josue Larose, Millionaire Rick Perry Fan

Josue Larose lives in Florida.  For fun, he invents political parties and PACs.  Mostly Republican.  All of his Parties start with the word “American.”  Including, but not limited to, American Bourgeoisie Political Party, American Imperialists Political Party, American Intellectual Elites Political Party, American Film Stars Political Party, and one I cannot wait to join called American Noble Persons Political Party.

How does he fund these Parties?  With PAC money from American Venture Capital Group.

Through an elaborate but closely held cash funnel, a corporation called American Venture Capital Group has poured millions of dollars into Larose’s labyrinth of political parties — or so records show — which then contribute to Larose’s gubernatorial campaign.

In July, for example, American Venture Capital Group donated $1 million each to his American Billionaires Party and American Capitalists Party. Each of those Larose-chaired parties directed $450,000 in cash and $450,000 in “in-kind” contributions to his campaign.

Larose claims to have a $14.5 million warchest in his various PACs, all from money donated by American Capital Group, an organization that doesn’t seem to exist, at least on paper.  All of his PACs start with the words “United States.”  Parties start with American, PACs start with United States.

Okay, so that’s where we were until yesterday.

Yesterday, like manna from heaven, Larose up and changes the name of one of his PACs from United States Industrialists Federal PAC to – get ready for this sucker – The Rick Perry 2012 Presidential Victory PAC.  No, seriously, if you don’t believe me, look here:  Larose PAC for Rick Perry

So, Mr. Larose is either a nutjob, a crook, or a stealthily use cover to divert money to Rick Perry.  At this point I would not be willing to bet a dime on any of those choices.  We’ll keep an eye on it.

You should always have your morning coffee with Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen.  Yes, you should.
