Congressional candidate Gene Stilp travels around with a giant inflatable pink pig called Pignelope to represent the government corruption and waste. What, do you have a better idea?

Gene uses Pignelope because nobody needs another pie chart. For all the hullabaloo Paul Ryan got for his budget video, did anyone actually watch it? You can bet the good people of central Pennsylvania have seen Pignelope, or seen Stilp in his pink and pig-like school bus. Maybe props don't get your message across, but they do get you glances in your general direction.
