"arguing that meals such as turkey chili mac, turkey a la king, turkey stew and turkey sausage were unnecessarily cruel."

And in other news, the National Turkey Growers Federation has file suit against certain inmates at the El Paso detention facility for defamation of a food product.

"I'm laughing at this because during my "broke" periods I will buy taco shells and eat tacos for fourteen days straight if need be!!!"

I'll never forget the ramen noodles era of my life.

Man...What I wouldn't give for a turkey sandwich with mayo and a bowl of stuffing right now. Alas, it's tuna again.

Jonathan Swift suggested a Final Solution in his "A Modest Proposal."

Let them eat NARAL by-products. NARAL will say it's not cannibalism...just tissue.

Five straight turkey dinners prompted El Paso County jail inmates to go on a brief hunger strike. The inmates refused to eat Saturday, arguing that meals such as turkey chili mac, turkey a la king, turkey stew and turkey sausage were unnecessarily cruel.

"I'm not going to count to three. I'm not even going to count to one. You WILL shut the %^$& up NOW or I'll sing you a lullaby!" (Clancy Brown, The Shawshank Redemption)

That's about how much sympathy I have for these whiners...

They inmates, and they are not dining in a five-star restaurant. They're griping about turkey chili mac and turkey a la king? Many times during my army career I would have traded my cold C-ration or MRE for a hot meal like that!

I have found the two greatest condiments to make any food tasty..

1. Hunger

2. Gratitude

I bet those people they robbed, raped, and killed would rather eat turkey for a week rather than be dead, raped, or robbed.
