Sarah Palin Cheesecake?

"From Berkeley Springs:

The Sarah Palin cheesecake makes more sense than global warming and carbon dioxide pollution."

Do you by chance have the recipe for that? From your description I'm hoping it's no-bake and organic! Why just today I found a recipe for Hillary Clinton Russian Tea Cakes; I wonder if Sarah Palin can see those from her house???
 
 

It's More Than a Feeling

Did I not promise quality JJ's during Hunting Season?

"From Berkeley Springs:

Seems the Chestnut Hill Road caller equates liking country life with also liking the killing, maiming and torture of our wildlife. You people destroy all that is beautiful in our world. Remember one thing, the wildlife belongs to all of us and many of us hate your recreational feeling."

Every time I read this entry, I get that Boston song stuck in my head: only my version goes something like this:

I looked out this morning and the fog was gone

Put on some camo to start my day

I lost myself in a familiar woods

I load my gun and I hike away

It's more than a feeling

(More than a feeling)

When I see that the first deer of the day

(More than a feeling)

I begin aiming
(More than a feeling)

'Til I see that 12 point run away

So many whitetail have come and gone

Their antlers grow as the years go by

Yet I still recall as I wander on

As clear as the sites on my .45

It's more than a feeling

When I'm tired and getting cold

I hide in my treestand, forget the day

And dream of what could be on my wall

I closed my eyes and he gets away

He gets away

It's more than a feeling

(More than a feeling)

When I see that the first deer of the day

(More than a feeling)

I begin aiming
(More than a feeling)

'Til I see that 12 point run away

(More than a feeling)

When I see that the first deer of the day

(More than a feeling)

I begin aiming
(More than a feeling)

'Til I see that 12 point run away

Bambi--It's What's for Dinner

"From Martinsburg:

To the caller from Martinsburg: Don't worry, I won't shoot the small bucks. I will leave them for you or until they grow big. I will shoot the does, they are better eating."

I wish all hunters a safe and happy hunting season, and I encourage all of the anti-hunting crowd to please, PLEASE voice your concerns via Journal Junction. I think some of my all-time favorite JJ's have appeared around this time of year: remember the great debate over crosswalks for deer? I rest my case.

He Said, That She Said, That They Said

"From Charles Town:

To the person confused about South Jefferson Elementary: Keri Mahoney is the head teacher. Is Obama "president" or "commander in chief"? ... Now, about the "Red Zone." Were you aware that South Jefferson has literally doubled in size in the last few years? ... The students need to be guided to specials and lunch, usually several classrooms at a time, and maintaining a quiet "no talking" rule has served its purpose well this year. ..."

Who? What?? Huh??? I read this one several times over breakfast, and even after 3 cups of coffee I was still confused. Exactly how many JJ's is this person responding to? Not to mention, are there actually any properly structured sentences in their comment?

Car Wars: Shannondale Snaps Back

On November 12 "Martinsburg" laid down the gauntlet:

"From Martinsburg:

I have owned 10 cars in my life, and every one of them was made by an American company in America by Americans. How many other Americans can say that?"

Today, "Shannondale" threw it right back at 'em:

"From Shannondale:

To the Martinsburg caller who has owned 10 American-made cars: I have only owned a couple of cars in my life and I am 50 years old. The reason that I have only owned a couple is because they were made in Japan."

Oh SNAP!

Mystery Mastodon

I love when after 3 weeks or so, someone finally snaps and tells it like it is. Hopefully this JJ puts an end to the school lunch saga.

From Charles Town:

It is a well-known fact that school lunches are just gross. They have been gross since the beginning of time, cavemen probably ate gross lunches. So to all the people that are acting like this is something new: I am sure that you ate nasty school lunches and your parents never called in whining and complaining. If you are that concerned about them do as I do and pack your child's lunch so you will know it is good and healthy.

DJ salutes you "Charles Town" for your witty, straightforward, sarcastic (but not too sarcastic) retort.

Surkamp's "Blue Moon" Trumps Twilight's "New Moon"

And the Jim Surkamp saga continues: today's JJ devoted 4 whole entries to him! Tragically, only one of those was actually DJ-worthy.

"From Ranson:

Anyone who believes Jim Surkamp's explanation of why he tried to vote twice in the zoning election will believe that the moon is made of green cheese."

Silly Ranson, everyone knows that the moon is made of BLUE cheese.
