Bad Turkey

So the day of eating turkey is long gone, and I know I gave you a Thanksgiving quiz but there is one question I left off the quiz.

Take your time and really think about the next question and see if you get the correct answer.

Question: what state has the distinction of raising the largest living turkey ever?

Oh come on, think about it.

Have you figured it out yet?

This is so easy I'll give you a hint, Elvis loved a city in the state.

Still don't know? I'll give you another hint, prostitution is legal in parts of this state.

Give up?

OK the answer is Nevada.

Nevada holds the record for the largest living turkey.

A lot of you would like that explained, so here you go.

It all started in a little mining town in Nevada called Searchlight. Yes that town produced none other than Harry Reid.

The following is the correlation of Harry Reid becoming the largest living turkey.

A few days ago they opened this big capital project called the Capitol Visitor Center.

From its inception, the Capitol Visitor Center has been conceived as an extension of the Capitol that welcomes visitors to the seat of American government. At nearly 580,000 square feet, the CVC is the largest project in the Capitol’s 215-year history and is approximately three quarters the size of the Capitol itself.

The entire facility is located underground on the east side of the Capitol so as not to detract from the appearance of the Capitol and of the grounds designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in 1874.

The planting of 85 new trees, the restoration of historic fountains, lanterns and seat walls, and the addition of skylights, water features and granite pavers across the East Front Plaza will all serve to revitalize the historic landscape.

What was it, like $680 million over budget and about four years behind schedule? But it's a beautiful place.

Well any spotlight available and good ole' Harry can't wait to run (gobble gobble) his mouth.

This is part of Harry Reid's speech at the opening of the new capitol center.

REID: My staff has always said don't say this, but I'm going to say it again because it's so descriptive because it's true: Leader Bingham mentioned that tourists lined up in summer and winter, long lines coming into the Capitol.

In the summertime because of the high humidity and how hot it gets here, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol. And that may be descriptive, but it's true. Well, that is no longer going to be necessary.

Isn't it interesting that Senator Reid has become so much of a Washington elitist snob that he criticizes the hard working American that paid for that building with their sweat that Harry can't stand the smell of?

Come to think of it, where does his salary and gold-plated retirement come from?

I would submit to my readers, the smell coming from the American citizens is not the smell of tourists, but the smell of stockholders in the capitol because isn't it, after all, their Capitol?

If not for the sweat of hard working Americans there would be no such buildings.

Could it be the foul smells in the air is the stench coming from elected officials like Harry Reid in Washington?

You know it is warm in Nevada. In fact, in the southern part of the state it is downright hot and a vast majority of the people are hard working and do actually sweat.

I wonder if, when Harry is campaigning across Nevada in two years, his sensitive nose will allow him to meet and greet the voters?

We here in Nevada who are tired of being embarrassed by Harry Reid need to wake up in two years when Harry is running for re-election and vote him out of office.

I don't know about the smell, but Harry the turkey has sure left a bad taste in my mouth.
