Mike Huckabee brings the crazy:
“[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it’s a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that’s what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards,” Huckabee said, referring to the need for a constitutional human life amendment and an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
Previously, Mike Huckabee brought the redneck:
Mike Huckabee explains how he’ll appeal to SC voters by explaining how he and his crew ate fried squirrel made in a popcorn popper in college …
Two unrelated moments of wackiness? Or something more disturbing?
Two Kentucky doctors last month reported a possible link between eating squirrel brains and the rare and deadly human variety of mad-cow disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, thought to strike one person in 1 million, produces holes in the brain. Symptoms include loss of muscle control and dementia. It may take years, even decades, for symptoms to appear.
Dr. Eric Weisman, a behavioral neurologist who practices in rural western Kentucky, reported in the distinguished British medical journal The Lancet that he has treated 11 people for Creutzfeldt-Jakob in four years, and all had eaten squirrel brains at some time. Six of the victims, ranging in age from 56 to 78, have died.
The normal incidence of the disease in the area should be one case in about 10 years, he said.

January 16, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Yes, the squirrel may pop. But does it blend?
January 16, 2008 at 5:01 pm
And who said that it was particularly hard to change the word of the living God?

Don’t EVER eat brains! Rabbit brains (the kind diners serve in brains and eggs) cause Creutzfeldt-Jacob, also. Human brains will turn you into a zombie. It’s just not safe to eat the damn things.

So glad you’re back. I came dangerously close to deleting your bookmark. It was just too depressing to click there every day and find nothing.

Hey, I know what you did!
You went 8 years into the future with Jon-Erik and Meeno, grabbed the source code for the about-to-be-revealed, million-dollar RedState software, destroyed all backups and securely erased all the developers’ hard drives, and returned to the present day.
Brilliant!

The LANCET!!! You’re kidding me, aren’t you? The Communist Islamofascist Lancet? The guys that fake their results and make elementary statistical errors?
I’ll keep on eating squirrel brains daily.
January 16, 2008 at 6:46 pm
And I’m getting Dsquared on the case. He knows statistics!
January 16, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Well, goddamn, bubba. Next time don’t just eat squirrel; go all out!
January 16, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Not to rain on the parade, here, but as a person with a long and surprisingly varied culinary CV, I have to say that the brains of squirrels cooked in a popcorn popper would be bitter, overdone, and generally considered inedible even to the offal-eating set.
You’d be looking at something more like dry-cured squirrel jerky, and you’d probably want to stick to the hind legs.
Right, then. Go back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I’ve eaten squirrell before. Pretty damn good. I stopped at the head, though.
January 17, 2008 at 4:54 am
now, question. do you eat the ENTIRE FUCKING SQUIRREL?
Apparently, in the parts of the country where they eat the squirrel itself, they don’t eat the brains, while in the parts of the country where they eat the brains, they don’t eat the squirrel, for whatever that’s worth.
As for brains and eggs in diners, I thought it was usually sheep brains not rabbit brains. As it happens, I had long wanted to order this item when traveling through parts of the country that offer it (mainly the Rocky Mountain states), but I’d just never quite been able to pull the trigger. And ever since the whole spongiform encephalopathy thing broke, ordering brains and eggs has fallen off the to-do list.
On the other hand, I’ve had both lamb fries and calf fries, and they’re pretty darn tasty!
January 17, 2008 at 5:06 am
ok well. What if I go to my favorite squirrelly squirrel fast food center because I like to eat out squirrels?
Am I in danger?

First translate from spoken-word to Greek into Latin, then mix some stuff around, add your own parable or two. Re-write, repeat 58,000 times. ZBoom!
