But first, listen to this brief election-day message from the Bacon Lobby.

We’ve also got a video of Bacon Day action in New Jersey, with a cut-down remix of the Bacon Man song.

Why not show us how you be sizzlin’ on Bacon Day. Video respond to Obama Bacon Man! Yeah!

And also, here’s an MP3 of Obama Bacon Man! Blast it whenever a state goes Bacon!

If you’ve seen the Bacon Man video, you’ve seen us all dancing. That’s great, and it’s about to get better. I use “better” in a vague and loose way. Today we here at the Bacon Lobby are introducing the election-day edition of the Sizzle Dance. Let me show you:

Now, this isn’t the final draft of the Sizzle Dance. No way. We’d like you to turn up the Bacon Man song, turn on the video recorder, and tape your own Sizzle Dance.

Nearly 30 high school seniors were suspended for two days after holding a morning barbecue on the grounds at the high school Tuesday.
According to parents of some children involved in the breakfast party, 28 students participated and were subsequently told they would not be welcome on campus for the next couple days.
Superintendent Michael Frechette was unable to confirm or comment on details of the incident Tuesday, as he was unaware it had taken place, he said.
Principal Robert Fontaine did not return calls on the matter.

The only question I have: Is this America?

From the Associated Press article about a 10-year old who created the Bacon Boy comic-book crime fighter:
Hermiston [Oregon] youth who created Bacon Boy superhero dies of leukemia:

Austin Winters, the 10-year-old creator of Bacon Boy, a superhero who shoots bacon bits from one hand and grease from other, has lost his battle with leukemia.

Austin created his bacon strip-shaped crime fighter after painter Frank Etxaniz began visiting Portland’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital as part of the Children’s Healing Art Project.

Etxaniz challenged Austin to dream up a character to draw. Austin came up with Bacon Boy, who along with his friend, Sgt. Sausage, fights the evil Fry Guy and his minions, Knife and Fork.

Austin made drawings of his characters, created iron-on images, did animation and shaped Bacon Boy in clay.

LEWISTON, Idaho – Jolee Bacon really sizzles when it comes to hog-calling.

The northern Idaho woman took first place Saturday in the competition at the Nez Perce County Fair.

She has raised several champion pigs for 4-H contests. Bacon says she calls pigs every morning and night with her 9-year-old daughter, Jacey.

Bacon won the crown over as she started her hog call with a few loud snorts and a long, drawn-out “sooey.”
