Re: Welcoming the troops home

Very Neat Eric! That Kinda 'splains the relative performance of ABC vs NBC. Ol' NBC folks have been callin' our soldiers "mercenaries", n' loosing retired General commentators, n' all sorts o' problems since their hard left move after 11/2006. Glen Beck thinks he can read George Buch's mind 'bout attackin' Iran, n' Kieth Olderman calls most Republicans Liars just about every night; great fun ta see the cornsaquences of those actions. Funny Ol' GE, [(Generous 'Lectric) to us ol' time stock jockies], would tollerate the slip n' revenues. GE is not right or left just: $ Mrs Jones: thank you very much! Freedom o' speech or the press does not mean freedom from cornsaquences! Disney is the same way $, not right or left,('cept the Hollywierd part 'course). Sorry for the Ebonics BB, n' cornpone Tree, but can't spell. JR

Whats cornpone? Isn't that a mixture of cormeal and water?
I understand the reference, (which, if I had a liberal mindset, would call it offensive, unless of course it was refering to whites) just wanted to know what it is.

Brought tears to my eyes. You can bet that there are not any Libs amongst them. Thanks for posting Eric.

Ask Treedancer, He gave me the label, BoatBuoy calls it: Ebonics. I call it: a way to hide my spellin' n' grammer difficulties. Bro Haut Medoc makes it look real cute, (harder for me ta look as good as Bro Haut, as I'm no where near as smart as he is). JR

Re: Welcoming the troops home

I googled it. Cornpone is flatbread made out of corn flour. My Dad used to make that, only he used fresh ground whole wheat flour. Blech! And man was it hard! You could knock down buildings with the stuff!
Anyway, sorry for the hijack, I honestly didn't mean to get so off-topic. Nice find on the video, Plainsmain!

Re: Welcoming the troops home

I thought everyone new who Jubilation T Cornpone was.

http://www.lil-abner.com/other.html

Jubilation T. Cornpone:A town as forlorn as Dogpatch is bound to be hard up for heroes. Thus it comes as no surprise that its most famous son, memorialized by a statue, is civil war General Jubilation T. Cornpone, best known for "Cornpone's Retreat," "Cornpone's Disaster" and "Cornpone's Rout." But what he is really best known for is inspiring the most rousing and memorable song in the popular "Li'l Abner musical. The first verse:
"When we fought the Yankees and annihilation was near, who was there to lead the charge that took us safe to the rear? Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone, old toot-your-own-horn pone. Jubilation T. Cornpone, a man who knew no fear."

Thanks Tree, You know I only have one brain cell, (and it doesn't have room for some carp). JR
