We’re inclined to believe some artistic license was used in the preparation of this image, but our intrepid photojournalist (who shall remain nameless) swears they came upon this scene “as is” on the side of a road in South Carolina’s first congressional district …
(Click to enlarge)
Yup … that’s a “roadkilled” racoon which rolled up right underneath a “John Kuhn for Congress” sign. A “Dead Kuhn,” if you will.
Talk about a bad omen for the former State Senator!
Kuhn is one of sixteen candidates vying for the GOP nomination in the first district, a seat which became vacant earlier this year when U.S. Rep. Tim Scott was appointed by Gov. Nikki Haley to temporarily fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Jim DeMint.

Joel Sawyer, everybody.
We are greatly saddened by how many of our furry little friends we see flattened along our roadways on a typical daily drive to work. In a well-intentioned effort to turn those frowns around, we have proposed a tasteful end for those unfortunate creatures who wanted nothing more in life than to learn what might lie on the other side of the road. We think that they would have wanted it that way.
Raccoon Kabobs
(Also known as “Ringtail Surprise”)
Two pounds, reasonably fresh raccoon, cut into one-inch cubes; one-half cup homemade French dressing; two green peppers, cut into squares; one large onion, cut into one-inch pieces; one-third pound mushroom caps.
Place raccoon cubes in a ceramic bowl and pour dressing over cubes. Let marinate two or more hours. Remove cubes, reserving marinade. Alternate raccoon cubes with pepper squares, onion pieces and mushroom caps on skewers. Brush all with reserved marinade and broil over hot coals until done to desired degree. Turn frequently and baste with marinade as needed.
Serves six.
—excellent! Here’s one from the “Road Kill Cooking II”, (Jeff Eberbaugh)
ROAD KILL STIR FRY FROM UNDER THE CAR
Road kill stir fry from under the car
Ya get everything ya need driving home from the bar
Drinking corn likker can make ya get lost
It’s hell driving home when your eyes are both crossed
About now’s when a coon comes into sight
Ya flip on your high beams to give ya more light
The light’s real good but ya know you’re in trouble
You’re on a corn likker drunk and you’re still seeing double
Ya really can’t tell which varmint is which
Put the pedal to the metal and head for the ditch
If you’re gonna stir fry you’re gonna wanna drag
Just jack up your car and fill up your bag
You thought you saw double must it must have been triple
Cause the coon on the left side was square in the middle
Scrape the greens and the coon from underneath the car
Grease up your skillet and heat up the far
Cut the greens and the coon into little bitty squares
Cook ’em real hot and flip ’em in the air
