In a world where political parties clash on a day-to-day basis; we live in a country so shaken by the people's desire to have a voice, that some wish they could overtake their own leader.
The Tea Party movement has created quite a stir, but there is an issue swirling about, that has not been of major relevance in this country since the 1970's.
On the ceiling of Phil's Fan Store on the corner of County Road J and County Road R, there is a fan that has been hanging around, maybe a little too long.
Saturday afternoon, in the peaceful town of Menomonie, the Guzman family was browsing through Phil's, a family owned store since 1957. They were interested in purchasing a nice quiet fan that would give them no trouble, but trouble is exactly what they got.
"My wife and I were looking for a fan for the bedroom. Something that wouldn't make a lot of noise, so we can sleep. Then this red fan, out of nowhere started throwing flyers down on us. He tried to get us to read them. When we ignored him and walked away, he kept trying to follow us around the store. Luckily, he was anchored to the ceiling," explained Edwardo Guzman.
The owner, Phillip Folger witnessed the unwarranted solicitation and rushed over. "I grabbed the flyers from the ground. They read 'Support Communism' and then went into detail about the benefits of joining. I immediately shut the fan off. I will not have my customers harassed," stated Folger. "There's a 'No Solicitation' sign right on the door!" Just as he pulled the chain on the fan and walked away, the fan, gliding to a stop, cried out the words "Capitalist Pig!" The fan seemed disoriented about what year it was.
Folger later shared with us the invoice for the fan that dates back to 1962. The manufacturer, based out of Havana, Rocas Comunismo, which translates into Communism Rocks, has long since went out of business shortly after the U.S. imposed its trade embargo.
"I didn't realize that this fan had been up there all these years. I guess nobody liked the color. It was just a quiet fan that never caused any commotion until now," Folger said. An employee of the store was later seen carting off the opinionated fan to the dumpster.
