Wild Game Cookout Pics and Review



Various alluvians pose for pictures at last night's Wild Game Cookout on Adams Street.

If you had driven down West Adams last night at about eight o'clock, you would have thought someone had either died or just gotten married. With cars lining the streets for an entire city block, it was obvious that something important was going on. Thankfully, there were no deaths associated with the cars. Instead, it was once again time for the annual Wild Game Cookout.

Thanks to the hard work and proper planning of hosts Matt Finke, Ray Nillsen, Matthew Hicks and Etta Strickland, this year's cookout went off without a hitch. Everything from stuffed venison to grilled pheasant to BBQ'ed squirrel was served and the sides of Southern Living baked beans, bean-stuffed burritos and hashbrown casserole (just to name a few) were exceptional.

So was the Jagermeister, Blue Vodka and Hot Damn that was freely flowing at the event.

An estimated 100 people attended this year's festivities and comments overheard led me to believe that this was the best one to date. Although it was my first year in attendance, I can honestly say that it was one of the best parties I have been to in a while and a great kickoff to a fun weekend in Greenwood!

I will be eagerly awaiting my invitation about this time next year. And if I don't get one, I'm gonna show up anyway! I wouldn't have missed it for the world...

Obama or McCain? You Decide.

Image
Barack Obama is the only candidate that has been successful at reaching across party lines in the presidential election. I as well have not had much to say on The Dirt. It is unfortunate that I no longer consider myself in tune with life in the Delta and can no longer comment as such. My free time (what little of it I have) has also been dedicated to following both the presidential election and American Idol like a hawk. That having been said, I am not afraid to admit that my name is on Amy's list of previously sane people who are seriously considering Obama in November. Now, my consideration depends on a lot of future events to fall into place. First and foremost, Obama will have to beat Hillary for the Democratic nomination. If that were to happen, my pick between Obama and McCain would also depend on who each picks for their veep candidate. As a self-proclaimed independent, I find myself torn between these two candidates and refuse to make a blind decision based on what ce...

Editorial: As Predicted, McCain Falls in the Polls

This two-minute campaign ad clearly states Barack Obama's plan to reenergize our economy. Thank God someone is addressing this issue. In an opinion editorial previously published this week, I predicted that the roller coaster ride the economy has been on this week would cause Republican presidential candidate John McCain to fall in the polls. "My prediction: By the end of the week, McCain's stance on the economy will cause his Palin bump in the polls to all but disappear." According to Real Clear Politics , "one of America’s premier independent political web sites," my prediction came true. Currently, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is ahead in the polls by 1.9% , approximately the level by which he was ahead leading into the Democratic and Republican conventions. The Palin bump that McCain joined is now completely gone. This reversal of fortune is due, in part, to Obama's strength on the issue of the economy and the popularity of his e...
