Happy Labor Day From AFSCME

A little humor, albeit NSFW humor, for you on Labor Day, with a reminder of all we public union sector thugs do, even for you haters:

Popcorn Turkey

It's that time of year again.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and people are starting the hustle and bustle of planning and preparing for their Turkey Day feast.

In case the gentle reader is bored of the same old routine, here is a recipe for turkey that I've been sharing ever since I was a newbie blogger:

An oldie, but a goodie...

Here is a Thanksgiving Turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing - imagine that.

When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.

BAKED STUFFED TURKEY

10-12 lb. Turkey
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is good.)
5 cups uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER 'S LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush Turkey well with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven.Listen for the popping sounds. When the turkey's ass blows the oven door open and flies across the room, it's done.

Imagine the look on your loved ones' faces as you show off your culinary skills.

As another bit of advice, you might want to make sure you have reservations at your favorite restaurant - just in case.

Scott Walker to Join AFSCME?!

What the what?

Oh, don't worry. This particular John Doe can't be Scott Walker. The membership is for Local 645, my local, which represents Milwaukee County professionals, meaning he would need to have a college degree and that isn't about to happen any time soon.

Doesn't the guy on the left look a bit like Scott Walker - complete with the cabinet-induced bald spot?

Walker's Honey Wagon Rides Again?

Is it just me, or when you saw this story:

Warning to highway drivers near Racine: Watch the road and hold your nose.

Traffic was slowed on all lanes of I-94 eastbound between Highway C and Highway 20, close to Racine, for part of the afternoon due to a spill of human feces in the road, according to a release by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

The release warned of a "liquid non-hazardous substance spilled across all lanes of traffic," which was reported around 2 p.m.

...did you think of this story?:

It all starts with a septic company called Herr Environmental, Inc.  Herr Environmental was pumping out people's septic tanks and dumping the contents on farmer fields at three times the legal limits.  The dumping sites were next to residential areas and could possibly affect 40 different wells for drinking water.

The story reports that this is of a concern because the raw sewage contains nitrates that could infiltrate the drinking water and cause all sorts of health problems.  The story doesn't even go into the threat of E. coli.

To make matters worse, they tried to cook the books and had three different sets of records and over 60 inaccurate records of when, where and how much they spread.

It also makes me wonder where Joel Kleefisch was and if he was trying to fix a traffic ticket or something.

Popcorn Turkey

With the holidays approaching, we turn to our traditions that we do every year.

Mine happens to be sharing the recipe for Popcorn Turkey, a Thanksgiving Day favorite. So without further ado:

Political Ad Of The Day

Carl M. Sciortino, Jr. is an openly gay representative in the Massachusetts' legislature.  He is running in a special election for the US Senate.  One of his commercials is absolutely wonderful and has already gained national attention:



Humor has always been an effective way to get a message across and to be remembered. And one that is this positive...well, I could see this young man having one heckuva a career before him.
