How the bleep did this happen? I don’t know any “country music” done by Bummer. Did someone dump Kool-Aid in the Cumberland River?

He didn’t do anything “in the previous year” “to promote peace” either.


Butch the Rooster

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called “pullets” and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize the eggs.

The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn’t perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. The farmer’s favorite rooster was old Butch, and a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all!

John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to Farmer John’s amazement, Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring. He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of Butch, he entered him in the Boone County Fair and Butch became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result... The judges not only awarded Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly Butch was a politician in the making: who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention?

Haven't you heard, "Ah Gotta Girl in all 57 States?"

Or "Mah Hort is Breakin, Gimmee Public Option Health Care?"

Or "Please Mr. Taxman, Gimmee Some More Dough?"

Or " I Went a Huntin with Mah Portugese Gal, that's Mah Portugese Water Dawg?"

The nominating committee determined he had a “Somebody Done Somebody Wrong” song in him.
