HUCKABEE, DOGS, AND TWEETS; BLUNT TRAUMA TO THE BRAIN

Not Trump. Not Jindal. Not Rubio, Cruz, or Bush. The biggest dick among the republican clowns running for presidential candidate may very well be the clueless formah gubnah of Arkinsah, Mike Huckabee.

Who is the father of dog-killer David Huckabee.


This is what the aforementioned formah gubnah tweeted yesterday:


"I trust Bernie Sanders with my tax dollars like I trust a North Korean chef with my labrador!"


Um, what?

Does this man not realize that cracking jokes about people eating dog meat is rightly considered hugely racist? And that he just shot himself in the foot?

Not that I mind Southern Baptists OR southern republicans saying stupid things.

It's why all true Americans look at them with kindness.

The more of them do that, the better.


Who can forget this classic:

"I would love to know more. What I know is troubling enough. And one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, is very different than the average American."

Are all southerners stupid dumb-ass twats?

No, not all. By no means all.

Not even Mike.



AFTER WORD

Governor Huckabee once said that Beyoncé's lyrics were "obnoxious and toxic mental poison." Which is entirely correct. One rather wishes that Bubba Hucka would limit his utterances to critiques of modern music.

Perhaps mixed in with occasional recipes for possum and coon.

LAGNIAPPE

Possum with young potatoes is an excellent dish, by the way, suitable for a family of four. Strip and gut the possum, cut off head, claws, and tail. Rinse very well.

Cut it into large pieces like you would a bird, and simmer in lightly salted water with a bay leaf and a dash of vinegar till tender. About an hour and a half to two hours, but that really depends on the beast.

Boil about three or four pounds of young fingerlings separately, along with two or three chunked carrots.

Then place the possum in an oven-proof dish, arrange the potatoes and carrots around the meat, along with whole jalapeños if you like, and lay four to eight strips of apple-wood smoked bacon overall.
Brown in the oven.

The average wild possum yields about three pounds of usable meat.
At least, around here they do. But avoid urban possum.
City possums are scavengers.


Southerners prefer possum with sweet potatoes, but I am not a fan.
