Thanksgiving Dinner For Congress

Posted Tuesday, November 22, 2011, at 3:04 PM

If you could order a Thanksgiving dinner all members of U.S. Congress had to eat, what foods would you send them?

I'd likely order roadkill and sauerkraut mixed together with the hottest pepper imaginable heavily sprinkled over the top. Dessert would be baked hedgeapples stuffed with a triple dosage of some laxative.

Bo, if I see you in a serving line during the Holidays, I might find a reason to pass your items up.

BUT for Congress, the laxative might be a real winner.

Hey now Bo. Don't diss my sauerkraut. Sauerkraut and weiners, Sauerkraut and ribs, and who can pass up a good Reuben.

I'm with you leeiii, I like sauerkraut and pork must be the german in me. We yankee's eat it for our New Years Day dinner.

I seem to recall Moe Howard in one of the Three Stooges episodes say, "I want burnt toast and a rotten egg because I have a tapeworm and that's good enough for him." Maybe that meal suits Congress. I'm sure it's good enough for them.

Bo, thanks for the idea! My plan would include

Cow brains and mountain oysters.

I would like to make all of them volunteer at a homeless shelter and they have to eat with the people.

For dessert, they could all use an extra large portion of humble pie.

I know Thanksgiving is over, but for Christmas - I think that Congress should have the same holiday celebrations as those who are living on the streets - either nothing to eat or very little.
