Guess who’s back…
Back again…
Bill and Bob…
Back, my friend…
Well, sort of back. Now they aren’t as prominent as they were before. They’ve on a different billboard tucked in between a gas station and a sign shop/car storage (the outer suburbs, guys <shrug>)
But get this: Here’s the full text of the billboard
God Blessed
AMERICA
Choose Hope Over Fear
Respectfully…Bill, Bob, et al
Paid for by Duckhead Partners LLC · duckheadpartners@gmail.com
Guys, they posted an email address! They claimed who was responsible for these. They do have accountability! Super tiny “don’t look at me” accountability but nonetheless…
So what’s Duckhead? Sounds like investment bankers. LLC means “limited liability company”. Is it some kind of think group? A PAC? Well, let’s do a google search.
According to this, Duckheard Partners started at the end of 2017, founded by William Naegele. Hm, well, that’s the lable on the bottom of the first billboard.
So if I were to guess, I would say they’re billboard owners. And we can presume William O. Naegele is the “Bill” in “Bill and Bob”. No mention of who Bob is so far.
Here’s their address:
600 Market Street Suite 240
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Not even in the same city that they’re posting their propaganda. Aye-yi-yi. I Google-streeted their building and (unless the picture’s old) there isn’t even a sign above their door.
Here’s the only other information I found. They apparently invested in a property in Chanhassen in 2018. On the site, the purchaser is blurred out but A) you can pretty easily see it reads “Duckhead Partners” and B) if you examine the source, you can see what it really says. Blame the site for poor privacy, not my nosiness.
What does this mean? I have no idea. I have no problem with someone buying a house. Certainly companies have done worse.
So then what do I do about this e-mail address? Should I let sleeping dogs lie? I’m really tempted to use it. My journalistic spider-sense is tingling, and I’d like some answers to the questions I’ve been asking all this time. I wouldn’t be mean about it–I just want to know what they intend with these messages.
But another part of me is worried about tickling a tiger’s tail. I’m just a blogger. These people have billboard money. I don’t mean putting up the poster, I mean owning the billboard itself. Is this a hill I want to die on?
So what do you think? Should I try contacting these people? See what they say? See if I can learn their motivations, means, and opportunities? Leave a comment.
