   Pioneer Square is the nicely-redone downtown park near the water that millions was spent to refurbish. Then it was given over to dope dealers, thugs, bums and winos. They took over the park, and have never given it back, thanks to the liberal policies of the city of Seattle. Something tells me the “homeless” will be eating your pork. Especially since the odor of urine, etc from surrounding alleyways isn’t always disguised by the daily sprays from sanitation trucks that make their appearance every morning.

   Sorry, aside from the impossible commute, Baby #2 has – just like my first child – turned me into an involuntary vegetarian.

   The sight, smell, and thought of eating meat absolutely disgust me. The turbaconducken and the pulled pork are making me queasy.

    MissCheryl, not to worry about the spelling! Isn’t it “just words”??? I think we have bigger things to be concerned about, you got your point across, that is what matters most. I am right in the middle of ILLINOIS, that is something to be concerned about. It is hard to hear all the criticism about the state, not ALL of us are liberal Chicago people. I can only hope some of the Reps and Senators in Springfield will take a stand against all the bull that is going on.

    I have to disagree with all of you who think Helen Thomas looks like Turkducken. She SO-O-O-O looks like Punch, the hand-puppet, of Punch and Judy fame! Even down to her squawking voice, and her cackling laugh…this is a no brainer. Consider also, that when anyone disagrees with her, she attacks them, albeit without the club.

    Punch wears a jester’s motley and is a hunchback whose hooked nose almost meets his(her) curved jutting chin. He carries a stick, which he(she) freely uses upon all the other characters in the show. He(she) speaks in a distinctive squawking voice, transmitting his(her) gleeful cackle.
