Political commentator/advisor James Carville is a passionate believer in free speech. So much so, in fact, that he answers the door for every solicitor that comes by. He does however always carry his cat with him. He gives the solicitor or canvasser one minute to interest him and if they don't he hurls his cat at their face. Although there have not, to date, been any injuries that required stitches, the solicitor/canvasser almost invariably has to make use of the box of band aids and antibiotic ointment that is always on Carville's porch.
