1. It's getting to the point where there's no room for satire... |
|
...or parody anymore. The 'Pugs are so shamelessly self-obsessed and oblivious about right and wrong that they unwittingly write their own material.

In case anyone wasn't sure, the last paragraph of the post *is* a joke. But the dove story appears to be real: http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/politics/15430696.htm___ Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

...but now I'm not so sure. Having an olive branch bonfire would be just the sort of thing these types would find amusing.

4. Some more fun ... soon, NE Ohio will be paying some "sharpshooters" |
|
to kill "excess deer" ... spending taxpayer dollars to do this.
Funny, what they should be doing is auctioning (or raffling) off the licenses to hunt the deer in the public parks, making those who want to hunt deer pay for the privilege, instead of paying them for doing what they wanted to do in the first place ...

6. How are the '06 elections like a Dick Cheney hunting trip? |

The Repubs are going to lose control of both chambers. ___ Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

Mourning doves are a migratory game bird that is in season starting around the first of September.
They are as common as dirt until the weather cools off in a few weeks and they are about the most challenging game for the wingshooter. I know it sounds like a parody of some sort, especially to those who don't live in this part of the country. The last part (the olive branch bonfire) was indeed parody, though. ;)
There's Democrat (and old fashioned pinko socialists, like moi...) that hunt them here as well as Republicans.
Believe me, the odds are stacked in favor of the dove...they maneuver like an F-18 fighter. I've shot up 2 or three boxes of shells (containing 20 each) and brought home only 3 or 4 birds. :blush:

8. Not uncommon on the East Coast, either - |
|
- and this is the time of year for it. Has to be after corn harvest so you can cut part of the corn field for hunting. Dove is delicious pan fried with gravy although there is little meat - just two large hunks in the breast per bird. Takes at least 6-8 birds to make a good meal for 2.

Take the breast, wrap a piece of bacon around it with a toothpick and grill with a little butter.
As comedian Jerry Clower said of it: :"The smell of that cookin' would make a puppy pull a freight train..."
:9
(Uh-oh. I fully expect to be leapt upon by the anti-hunting, etc. folks just any moment now...) :hide:
