Little Rock—During his recent trips to Little Rock, Arkansas, Presidential candidate John McCain visited Little Rock’s Whole Hog Café, a popular barbecue stop for locals.
The Whole Hog Café, a seven time winner of the best barbecue by the readers of the Arkansas Times, was a suggested stop by McCain’s travel companion former Arkansas’ Governor Mike Huckabee.
The lure of the smoking pork drew McCain to the smokers in the back. There, he witnessed the cooks preparing slabs of pork ribs for the smokers. McCain, an avid fan of barbecue, was enthralled with the dry rub spices used by the restaurant.
“This is great,” exclaimed McCain. “I always loved the taste of pork, but this rub makes it smell even better.”
“So what’s your pleasure,” asked Governor Huckabee. “How ‘bout some of that chicken?”
“I don’t think so, sailor,” McCain replied. “This boy only wants pork and nothing but pork.”
Senator McCain told Cindy to order, and he loaded up on all the pork ribs he could eat. As they prepared to leave, the matter of who should pay came up.
“Your money is no good in Arkansas, Mr. President,” noted Governor Huckabee while bending over to kiss both cheeks. “We’ll be happy to pay for it.”
“There’s no need. The citizens of Arkansas should pay for it, Mike,” claimed Janet Huckabee, chuckling, “much like they did when you were Governor.”
“The American people are going to pay,” fired Senator McCain, “just like when I’m President of the United States. They love pork, and they’ll get more than their fair share.”
Ultimately, Senator McCain laid down two $20 bills and paid for the meal. And as the driver fired up the diesel engines of “The Straight Talk Express,” Senator McCain remarked that he would like to see the restaurant’s smokers a little more Earth friendly.
If there is one thing that is certain, “The Straight Talk Express” will not be apologetic about giving us lots of pork during this campaign season.

Need bacon......
McCain will soon rename the “Straight Talk Express” to the “Pork Chop Express.” And in a moment of heartfelt candor, he said he is going to rename “Capitol Hill? to “Pork Chop Hill.”
Spork weasel?
“There is no barbecue outside of Kansas City.”
I thought so too when I lived in MO, but when I moved to Texas, I traveled the “Barbecue Trail”, and now Kansas City never comes up in discussions of Barbecue.
Pecan smoked is the best. Hinze’s is the best. Sealy and Katy, Texas.
Get you gone, heretic!
Thanks LJ, I kinda thought Gore looked cute munching grass!
I like your graphic, a TUFTED pig, and some ‘hanger on-ers’, lol.
Right, and algore doesn’t look cute doing much.

I paused and tried to think of some instance where he ‘might’ look cute and I got uglier and uglier thoughts, lol!!
I guess you could say you've seen the best, and no longer talk about the rest. :-)
Thanks for reading, E. I appreciate it.
Thanks for reading, ST. I appreciate it. Did you get your bacon? Because I couldn’t live with myself if I knew you didn’t have some pork.
You shouldn’t have to wait till November to get it. You can have it now.
:-) Thanks for reading, Non-Sequitur. I appreciate it.
That sort of goes back to this. ;)
Some awfully familiar faces there!!!
My favorite - #5 mixed with Volcano - adds a big kick to the rich and sweet Q sauce... mmmmmmm,mmmmm!!!!
Yes, it’s good to mix ‘em up. I tried all six on my last jumbo pork sandwich there.
