Possumblog

Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Mmmm!!! Tastes sorta muley, but it'll do.

Larry Anderson over at Kudzu Acres mentioned to me this morning that it is at this time of the year that many a Republican's thoughts turn to Alfred Packer, who in the year 1873 was purported to have devoured 5/7 of the Democratic population of Hinsdale County, Colorado.

In the spirit of this amazing story, and given the astounding commercial success of the Cornatee™ (battered and fried manatee on a stick) and the Cornguin™ (battered and fried Emperor penguin on a stick), we here at Possumblog Kitchens are happy to announce the Cornocrat™ which, as can be guessed, is a wholesome, meaty, Democrat on a stick, hand-dipped in buttermilk cornbread batter, and deep-fat fried to a golden brown. Mmmm-MMM!

(By the way, here is a link to the official Alfred Packer Collection at the Colorado State Archives)
