We’re Such Hams

TRY A SLICE OF US THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

FITSNews – November 21, 2007 – We’re pretty sure the guy who runs Voting Under The Influence is just trying to get into the FITS girls‘ pants, but as far as we can tell there’s no crime in that. Besides, his website has a kick ass name (no one should ever vote sober) and getting a Holiday Ham award is pretty awesome, especially if there’s an actual ham involved. Even awesomer would be if it came with some buttermilk biscuits. Mmmmm …

We now come to the Holiday Ham award. This award is for the politician or activist who seems the best at self promotion. This year’s winner is Will Folks, owner of the FITS news blog. From the pictures of scantily clad women he posts to the defense of the Governor he used to work for (and) pretends to loathe, no blogger or political activist in South Carolina has promoted himself better. Folks has rehabilitated himself from scandal ridden Sanford staffer into a bona fide voice in state politics better than Jimmy Carter rehabilitated himself from failed President to respected elder statesman.

Yeah, yeah, yeah … now where’s the ham? Seriously, you can’t give a “Holiday Ham award” and fail to produce an actual ham. Those were some really nice compliments, but you can’t eat compliments. You can, however, eat tasty delicious ham (with buttermilk biscuits). And be sure to make the biscuits from scratch, just like Grandma Folks.
