| Bush ensures victory with cookie triumph |
| 2004-10-16 |
| Hottest Magazine News of the Week: Family Circle announced the winner of their First Lady Cook-off. It's first lady Laura Bush, whose Chocolate Chunks overtook Teresa Heinz Kerry's Pumpkin Spice cookie with 67% of the vote. When the "polls" closed almost 17,000 Family Circle readers had voted. The magazine says the ballot count was supervised and audited by the accounting firm BDO Seidman. This is serious stuff. That's because the results of the First Lady Cook-off has predicted the last three presidents. This year the cook-off was almost as contentious as the campaign. That's because Ms. Heinz Kerry, dare we say it, flip-flopped on her recipe, claiming that it wasn't really hers. She told NPR's Susan Stamberg, "I never make pumpkin cookies. I don't like pumpkin spice cookies." And that, folks, is a perfect summary of the campaign. |

| #4 family circle prolly didn't want THK's initial submission recipe of gin and oatmeal raisin cookies, I have it on good authority she went to her backup recipe - the ever popular pumpkin spice cookie ball thingy. |

| #3 Finally, some trivial aspect of life on Earth for which Skeery didn't have a PLAN. Or, perhaps, he did and this serves as fair warning that his PLANS don't / won't work. As for Taarayzaah, she prolly had too many of her gin raisins that day. |

| #2 According to the NBC Morning program which insomniacs like me watch DownUnder, THK's first recipe 'didn't work' and the Pumpkin cookies (someone elses recipe) were substituted untried at the last moment. I thought it nicely encapsulated the Left's economic policies. |
