People dressed as chickens not allowed near polling places
However, that ban didn't stop some in Nevada from donning their chicken suits and going to the polls (and looking like fools?).

The dumb clucks have ruffled some feathers. They'll be fried in the hot Nevada sun. In Nevada, are the voting machines like slots and you "pullet"?

If you own a chicken suit you are pretty much looking for any excuse to wear it.

If they're not careful, they'll find themselves headless and laid out in a lollipop pattern.

If he gets unruly is it okay to choke the chicken?

I have a confession to make...
...people in chicken suits, and chicken suits in general, kind of terrify me. Not in the panic attack, curl up in a ball on the ground hyperventilating kind of way, but the "Oh CRAP CREEPY GET ME OUT OF HERE ASAP" kind of way. O.o

Never forget that it was that Republican woman in Nevada who wanted people to pay their doctor in CHICKENS!!

What this world needs is more political hyperbole. She suggested that people offer to pay doctors in labor or services, not chickens. Which isn't a bad idea for the small percentage of people with fungible skills, no insurance, and not enough cash.
It's fair to say she's so blithely out-of-touch with society that she doesn't realize that most poor, uninsured people have no skills, or that most doctors don't really need or want to be paid this way. She's an idiot, but let's be honest about -why- she's an idiot.
Frankly, I'm not sure who's more idiotic: Her, or the chicken-suiters.
