News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Trump delighted a crowd gathered on the White House lawn as he participated in a beloved annual tradition: the execution of an extremely irritating goose.
The president went through the motions of the solemn ceremony, reading off the goose’s crimes and then asking if anyone wanted the goose to be pardoned. “These United States find you guilty of honking really loudly, chasing poor, defenseless people who just happen to get a little too close to you, and just being a real jerk.”
“Geese’s beaks even have these little teeth-like edges—just terrible!” he concluded. “If anyone wants this goose to be pardoned, speak now or forever hold your peace.” No one spoke.
Trump nodded solemnly and picked up the official presidential axe. The crowd began to cheer: “Execute him! Give us the turkey! Execute him! Give us the turkey!”
Finally, the moment came: “Worst animal of all time!” Trump declared as he brought the axe plummeting down on the goose’s neck. “No pardon for any geese, ever!”
Go here to read the rest. I have some experience with geese at our local lake. Pieces of bread are my survival mechanism with these sturdy beggars of the avian world.
Implicit message: The goose is a perfect stand-in for all the Democrat candidates. Execute them at the ballot box.
When eating corn…they are far superior to those boring old turkeys on the T-Day table.
Don L, Now you have made me hungry. A tender goose, domestic or wild, is far superior to factory grown turkey. Plus the goose liver sauteed in butter then blended with a bit of brandy, pinch of salt and allspice and spread on water crackers or toasts is a delectable bonus. Plus the filtered, refrigerated fat keeps for a good while and makes for tasty fried potatoes.
There are a few ponds in Louisville that geese like to stop at when migrating. They like to cross the road with impunity.
