Keith Gross lists himself as the President of Opifer Group, Inc. He holds the domain opifergroup.com (direct link to WHOIS here).
Here’s where it gets odd. The Secretary of State has no listing for the Opifer Group, Inc. The domain was reserved on August 12, 2005, and updated on October 17, 2007. I don’t know if the address info was changed in that update, but the phone number listed is a Florida phone number.
This is just a rather odd pattern. It looks to me like someone who really wants to run for office, but probably made the decision quickly and didn’t have all his ducks in a row.

Bought Chris’ Steak House in Gaithersburg, MD in 2005. Closed sometime in 2006.

Now if he had named it “Keith’s Chris Steakhouse”, it might have done a lot better and not had to close.
Icarus // May 15, 2008 at 10:13 pm
You don’t think “Gross Chris Steakhouse” would have done the trick, Bill?
Bill Simon // May 15, 2008 at 11:13 pm
The only time “Gross” would work in a name is “Gross Pointe Blank Steakhouse”….
Which leads me to segue to my TOP 10 movies I need to have with me on a deserted island (not in any particular order):
American Pie
Saving Silverman
Gross Pointe Blank
The Shawshank Redemption
Crimson Tide
Shooter (with a big-ass widescreen)
To Catch A Thief
The Bourne Ultimatum
Aliens (i.e., Alien 2)
The Empire Strikes Back
What about you, Icarus? What are your Top 10 movies for an eternity on a deserted island?
Loren // May 15, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Searches of the Florida, Maryland, and California Secretaries of State offices also turn up nothing about an Opifer Group, Inc.
Incidentally, the Georgia state seal is now gone from his website.
Icarus // May 16, 2008 at 7:09 am
The first 6 are easy:
1) Animal House (a/k/a, “The Movie”)
2) Caddy Shack
3) The Jerk
4) Stripes
5) The Blues Brothers
6) There’s Something about Mary
I would need to put some thought into the other 4 and get back to you on that.
SFCWallace // May 16, 2008 at 9:07 am
You both forgot Dodgeball, The Good the Bad and The Ugly and Vacation “The moose out front should’ve told you.”
Bill Simon // May 16, 2008 at 9:40 am
I have seen The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly too many times.
SFCWallace // May 16, 2008 at 10:16 am
Dude, the Shawshank Redmption was on TNT every Saturday morning for about 6 years straight….
Bill Simon // May 16, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Okay..how about Braveheart for another epic choice?
Doug Deal // May 16, 2008 at 8:41 pm
I would bring
Last of the Mohicans
Star trek II, The Wrath of Mr. Roark
Groundhog Day
Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back
Doug Deal // May 16, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Icarus
At least you would have that going for you.
Jessica // May 16, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Wow, these lists are so different than mine.
Bill Simon // May 16, 2008 at 9:25 pm
C’mon, Jessica…let’s see your lists…
Jessica // May 16, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Let’s see … tentative list would have to include at least these:
A Time to Kill
Steel Magnolias
Pride and Prejudice
Grumpy Old Men
Top gun
Ever After
…
There are more, obviously. Probably more chick flicks. Ah well, so sue me.

Ughhh. Everyone. Your movies pain me. Let a REAL man give you some practical tips on movie selection.
1 and 2. The Deer Hunter and Rambo: First Blood Part II. If I’m stuck on a deserted island, I’ll need to be able to kick some serious butt. Never know when the bears will attack.
3. Legends of the Fall. In case I get depressed, watching a movie about people whose lives are more messed up than mine will cheer me up.
4. Emmanuel in Paris. For those lonely nights in.
5. A Beautiful Mind. Let’s face it, after a few years, I’m going to go nuts. At least I’ll know what to expect. I hope I imagine up Tricia Helfer.
6. Speaking of Tricia Helfer, Battlestar Galactica: Razor. Instant classic.
7. Anatomy of a Murder. Help me plan my ultimate revenge in case I ever make it off this rock.
8. MacGyver: Lost Legend of Atlantis. There may be some spare parts lying about. Being able to build a raft from a squeezed out tube of toothpaste and a butter knife will come in handy.
9. Die Hard. Maybe, just maybe, some nigerian pirates will invade my bay. Time to kick butt.
10. I Know Who Killed Me. In case life just gets too damn hard. This will surely send me over the edge and into sweet oblivion.
John Konop // May 17, 2008 at 8:05 am
A Few Good Men
Jerry McGuire
Godfather 1
Godfather 2
Power of One
Big Chill
Cool Hand Luke
Slap shot
Rocky
Chinatown
John Konop // May 17, 2008 at 8:09 am
Doug
Groundhog Day deserves to be the list I am just not sure which movie to drop.
Doug Deal // May 17, 2008 at 9:41 am
John,
That;s easy. Jerry McGuire.
I only gave four, so I will aso add
The Right Stuff
Airplane
Icarus // May 17, 2008 at 8:32 pm
O.K., I continue to reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks. Upon further review, I believe the list is now:
1) “The Movie”
Risky Business
2) Caddyshack
3) Stripes
4) The Jerk
5) There’s Something About Mary
6) South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
7) Road Trip
9) No Way Out
10) The Cowboys or True Grit (One John Wayne movie should be required by law).
Props to Konop for including Slap Shot. Almost made my list, but decided sports movies would be a downer if alone and without teammates.
Romegaguy // May 18, 2008 at 8:22 am
You need an Elvis movie on the list, too
Icarus // May 18, 2008 at 10:46 am
No, Elvis is better without the visual. But I did leave out “instant classic”, Superbad. Strike South Park, replace with Superbad.
Romegaguy // May 18, 2008 at 5:40 pm
I would recommend Rio Bravo instead of The Cowboys
Doug Deal // May 18, 2008 at 5:55 pm
What about The Seven Samurai, or its American remake, The Magnificent Seven?
John Konop // May 18, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Romegaguy
John Wayne in True Grit

Anyone else think this is more exciting and more educational than a Spacey G post?
Bill Simon // May 18, 2008 at 6:47 pm
I second that motion, Rome…
Common Sense // May 19, 2008 at 1:02 am
It’s amazing how much effort you guys are putting into this oppo. Can’t wait till a Republican gets challenged now that we have officially made residency an issue.
Romegaguy // May 19, 2008 at 7:27 am
You mean like Mike Crotts 2 years ago?
Bill Simon // May 19, 2008 at 8:20 am
“officially made resicency an issue..”
Gee, Common Sense….one would have thought you might be concerned about legal residency of a candidate for office.
It’s kinda, sorta, part of the basic requirements for running for office.
Doug Deal // May 19, 2008 at 10:08 am
Bill,
Why would a Democrat concern himself about something as petty as rules and laws?
