Henniway you look at it, summer is about to fly the coop. As far as Gabriella is concerned, it is none too soon. It has been a summer of breakups, killings, lying liars, and some sick roosters up to no good in Hatchburg. G. has been feeling peckish since breaking up with a Florida furniture mogul named Seymour Badcock. Eloise too suffered a fouled-nest summer. From her point of view, you can't always tell a rooster from his comb (especially if he dyes his feathers). She had a hot summer in the love coop, but as the leaves began to color, the White House wasn't the only place cranking out lies and sins of omission. Just back from a trip to the Netherlands, Eloise has cleaned her coop of a foul fowl and is out free ranging. If you too had a cracked summer romance, sweep up fallen feathers, break out some flour and sugar and bake a batch of oatmeal cookies. Check the feedbag for the delicious details. These cookies are easy to make and are guaranteed to make you feel less fried.
Speaking of cooking, the White House has been cooking up a batch of cooked budget books. The administration's standard procedure is to issue an unrealistically high deficit forecast, and then when the actual number comes in lower than the forecast our leaders announce that the deficit is falling, even though it is higher than the previous year's deficit.
Francesca ordered a million candles delivered to her coop. She passed some of them out for Hatchburg's solemn September 11 vigil. The corn fields along Fairview road were filled with hens and roosters carrying lighted memorials to the victims of 9/11. Reba and Joey took turns reading the names of all the victims. As each name was called out, Rosie blew out a candle.
A few well heeled Hatchburgians spent August suning their tail feathers at the Jersey Shore. Kitty shut down the Liver and Gizzard Bar and Grill and left to ride the waves in Bayhead. After a few days broiling on the sand, she paid a visit to Dominique's new cosmetic surgery wing on Ocean View Drive. Dominique decided to cash in on the burnt chick crowd on Bayhead's ocean side. Business is booming at D's satellite office. It's hush hush, but the word at the Roasted Corn is that Rusty and Raymond had Dominique resurface their combs and wattles.
On the 30th of September, the Roasted Corn will host a Leave No Voter Behind rally followed by a candlelight march in remembrance of the one thousand plus American's killed in Iraq.
There will be a participant representing each person killed in Iraq. Rosetta and Rosaria are making red white and blue Buck Fush signs for anyone who is interested. So far, they can't make them fast enough.
