Although I understand why some people with children would object to the language at the Ted Nugent concert and I agree with that, the fair board must have known who Ted Nugent is and what he stands for.
Ted Nugent stands for freedom and liberty! I must say, if the f-bomb is all you heard, then maybe it was all you were choosing to hear. Because I heard him thanking the men and women of the military who fight for this country and defend our freedom with their lives! I also heard him stand up for the American people and this great country!
Didn't Joe Biden whisper in President Obama's ear for all to hear on TV, "This is a big f-ing deal!" I guarantee that your kids see and hear more garbage on TV than Uncle Ted!
By the way, Ted, you are invited around our campfire anytime!

In fact, a terrific year.

Sauteing with the stars: Celebrities cook up a new way to stay in limelight
It's as natural a pairing as steak and baked potato. Americans love their celebrities, and Americans love to eat. So why not celebrity cookbooks?

I'm not a hunter but have nothing against it. I just never bought all the stuff. I have shot elk with my camera. I do find that these animals are very impressive, whether they are slowing traffic at the Hanford site or running around the hills in Rocky Mountain National Park. If I were a hunter, I'm not sure I would find much of a challenge taking them at Hanford. Contamination may be a problem. Ideally, I would like to see them rounded up and scattered around the state, but I would assume this would be too expensive.
When nature "culls" the herd, the sick and less desirable animals are thinned. When hunters cull the herd, they generally would be looking for the trophy bucks, of which there would seem to be many because of to past protections. The competition for statewide large rack measurements would be skewed a bit to this area. Maybe Ted Nugent could be brought in to shout obscenities at them before he takes his shot. That might give them a running start, at least.
