Not Much Political at the McHenry County Fair

My walk around the McHenry County Fair Wednesday didn’t find much political.

Jack Franks and Steve Reick used to have tents on this midway.

No candidate tents or booths this year.

Skinner’s (no relation) Carnival at the McHenry County Fair.

Three parties.

A butterfly tent is west of the grandstand.

Three advocacy groups.

Teens were attracted to the Marines’ exhibit.

The first I sighted was for those supporting abortion.

Citizens for Choice booth at the McHenry County Fair.

In previous years, it was financed by Planned Parenthood.

Across the aisle was the location of the Republican Party.

Candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate Peggy Hubbard was at the GOP booth.

Around the corner were the Democrats.

Unlike two years ago, no one at the Democratic Party booth hectored me for being a “racist” for not waking up every morning thinking about the children President Trump had put in cages at the Mexican border.

In the next building (to the west), I found the Libertarian Party booth–the place one can get “Biden Zillion Dollar” bills.

Walter Simons of Port Barrington was manning the Libertarian Party booth.

On the other aisle were two Pro-Life exhibits.

Local Catholic Churches host this display, which was attracting young people.
The McHenry-based Pro-Life organization 1st Way Life Center was next door.

And that was it.

  1. I am a curly fry respecter and even belong to a prestigious and exclusive curly fry fan club. (We aren’t taking applications right now, sorry.)

    When it comes to curly fries, nobody likes them more than me, but I think waffle fries are the optimal fry for cheese fries. It is because of the waffle fries’ high volume AND high surface area along with their sturdy shape. You can really dunk a lot of cheese on those bad boys!

    For me, it is the fun slinky like shape combined with the seasonings that make curly fries a great culinary experience. Curly fries are a little spicier than your average fry and that’s a good thing. It doesn’t have to be this way, but it usually is. (Your opinion may be different if you don’t like spicy food.)

    With a burger, crinkle fries or steak fries are my top choices. For those who don’t know, the steak fry is a much wider fry. Not quite potato wedge tier, but a much larger fry than a regular fry. The steak fry is flat, unlike the wedge. The steak fry is good if you go with an angus or some high quality burger. And obviously goes well with steak, but when I’m having steak baked potato is my fav.

    If I’m going with a cheaper burger or hot dog, I like the crinkle fry more than the straight fry for similar reasons that the waffle fry is good for cheese applications. A crinkle fry is going to be a little bit thicker than the regular fry and because of its zigzagging shape you can get more ketchup on it. Crinkle fries tend to be thicker so you’re going to want more ketchup anyway, and the crinkle accommodates.

    But the curly fry is the greatest STAND ALONE fry, so that’s why I say the curly fry is the greatest fry. Crinkle fries might be #2 for stand alone fry. Curly fries are still good for cheese fries, but the waffle fry has the edge because of its sturdier shape. Plus, if I’m going with cheese fries, I don’t need the fries to be seasoned. The cheese has its own spice.

    When I’m going with cheese fries, I would prefer the fry to be on the undercooked rather than the overcooked side. Curly fries are often on the crispier side. Sometimes they’re not, but usually they are. Waffle fries tend to be more on the undercooked side.

    Fried potato wedges are the superior “fry” with fried chicken and rotisserie chicken. But once you get to poultry meals, you’ll want to consider mashed potatoes because mashers and chickies is tops.

    A well seasoned, crispy, straight fry can also be quite good as a side, but now you’re basically just dressing up regular fries as curly fries.

    I have strong opinions about baked vs mashed potato vs tater tot vs hash brown vs potato pancake vs fry depending on the meal, as well as regular vs sweet potato and these potato forms.

    I have given this a LOT of thought! If you followed this post, congrats. It means you have a very good mind that can keep up with my brain. You are a smart and sharp person!

  2. Whose dumb ass idea was it to put abortionists across from the Republicans???

    And Democrats backed up to the Republican booth so they can hear each other fart!

    It’s like the fair association wants a fight to break out or something!

  3. So called choice advocates actually and truly endorse the killing of the infant in the womb. There should be a more appropriate term for these people. Such as “We support the killing of the infant”. Or, “Death for infants is OK”. How about they fess up and name themselves correctly. Would these dopes even be sitting in the tents if their mothers chose, so-called Choice to kill their infant? No.

  4. …“no one…hectored me for being a racist…”

    Probably because Peggy was there!

    ✌️😎

  5. Best entertainment at a public event was “booth people” up in Madison.

    Was visiting friends, and the strip there (State St?) was blocked off.

    It was early Fall, and it was some kind of parent and alumni weekend.

    Street festival, food, beverage, music, stuff …and student booths.

    The student Communist Club was there in a booth with brochures and tracts.

    There were benches right behind their booth, and we spent more than an hour watching them approaching all these older adults, all rosy-cheeked and so ever earnest and excited!

    Like, wow, did you even know there was such a wonderful system!

    It was like Communism teamed up with the “Up, Up with People” people.

    It was a blast!

    ✌️😎

  6. CPTKangaroo,

    Glad I am living rent-free in your head, it helps with ANTIFA operation: “black bloc back talk”. We have a bunch of riot equipment we liberated from police stations around the county last summer and need somewhere to house and stage it.

    your head is ideal… so big and so empty

  7. Bob Anderson,

    5 time loser at attempting to get rid of Townships and Township related systems

    Cheated his way on to the Republican ticket to run for Township office

    Called numerous unnecessary special Township meetings and pocketed $100 every time

    Tells half-truths or flat out lies about anything related to Townships

    Pals around with a guy who falsely claims to be a veteran

    Republicans don’t fart.

    That’s a Democrat thing.

  9. What is this Tauler bellowing about?

    Why is he ‘snobbish’ Captain Kangaroo?

    Is he really the Antifa leader?

    People need to know.

  10. MsTrumpion,

    Hard to find the light of truth while hiding in the shadows of anonymity.

    Olly olly oxen free

    This is the one offer of amnesty
