Huckleberries: Those aren’t Idaho rednecks, they’re French Canadians

Huckleberries Thursday:

Some of the Hired Hands at Kellogg City Hall were concerned recently when a couple pulled into the parking lot, grabbed their camping chairs and sat down in front of the door. In Idaho, you can jump to conclusions about a situation like this. Were the Constitutionalists protesting government red tape? Were dominant Republicans upset at the possible presence of a closet Democrat at City Hall? No. And no. They were French Canadians. In his weekly Roll Call report for the Kellogg Police Department, Sgt. Paul Twidt explains that the two visitors “got a kick out of (the) city’s name.” They had purchased a box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and wanted to be photographed with it in front of the Kellogg City Hall sign. One of the Kellogg PD’s Finest obliged them. The cop took a photo of the couple eating corn flakes in front of the sign, with a Kellogg’s box in the background. If Tony the Tiger had advertised regular flakes instead of frosted ones, he might say that this tale was “GRRRRR-eat!” Full column here.
