DEL.ICIO.USDeck the carcasses with boughs of holly
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Folks on Capitol Hill have grown a bit squeamish about Rep. Paul Broun’s stuffed bear.
Of course, it’s not one of those cute little bears kids get for Christmas. Broun’s bear would more likely traumatize a kid.
The full-size bear Broun keeps around is one he shot and stuffed, as are a variety of other animals that make their home the Georgia Republican’s Capitol Hill lair. And The Hill, a newspaper that covers Congress, thinks it might all be getting out of hand.
“It’s enough that freshman Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) has on display all his favorite animals that he hunted down, killed and eaten - everything he kills he must eat, according to his hunting philosophy,” the paper noted in its “In the Know” column.
“But now, the office has taken to decorating the animals with fluffy red and white fur Santa Claus caps,” it said. “’’Tis the season…to dress up your dead quarry.”
Makes us want to drive by Broun’s Athens home to see what kind of lighted reindeer he might have on the lawn.

How about “Deck the ground with piles of …..”
How many have read the headline in the Whitecountynewstelegraph(dot com). What a pile of sh.. Really!! And, not just a small pile. We’re talking about 100s of thousands of gallons of apparently unregulated dumping for years and years and years. Where are the politicians when the jobs get too smelly?
