Save our Buffalo Chips

I just read in the “Out There” section on the Fox News web site that a Mr. Anthony Salaz just won the World Championship Buffalo Chip Toss, which is held in Chaldon Nebraska; my heartfelt congratulations and kudos to Mr. Salaz.

The reason I bring this up is because there was a recent ‘letter to the editor’ sent in to the Minneapolis Star Tribune in which a person complained about the show of gluttony and the bad messages being sent during the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.

What is it with liberals? Can’t they ever lighten up? Is life so miserable for them that the thought of seeing other people enjoy doing something off-beat and fun, especially if it involves some sort of competition, will send them off the deep end?

I can see this guy sending in a letter to Chaldon’s newspaper. Didn’t they use to use these chips as some type of fuel source; he’d probably complain about the waste of natural resources and how this could possibly be a replacement for oil and then we could get out of Iraq. He’d probably go on to demonstrate how George Bush and the administration were holding back on using buffalo chips as an energy resource because they’re part of a conspiracy to make billions for themselves and big corporations.

Next he’ll be complaining about the Betty Crocker Bake-Off; then it will be tirades against the Pinewood Derby because they’re using wood and destroying our forests; then it will be, God forbid, egg-toss competitions at community picnics, what a waste of our fowl resources.
Studies show that conservatives tend to be happier and live longer than liberals. With examples like this bozo, and many, many others like him, I can believe it.
