Thu, 28 Dec 2006 08:00:00 EST Bacon and Books Rule Arkansas

He's lost 110 pounds, written the book on middle-age healthcare, and even teamed with old foe Bill Clinton to urge kids off Coke and Big Macs, but the truth is bacon still rules outgoing Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's life. The proof is in the pudding, or at least the casserole. It's right there in full living color on his "Farewell Arkansas" card we got in the mail, probably one of the neatest political cards we've ever received. It unfolds to show the state capitol, a family portrait, a message from the guv, and his wife's recipe for green bean bundles: two cans of green beans, one pound of bacon, one cup of brown sugar, a quarter cup of butter, and three teaspoons of garlic salt. From his picture, it's clear the guv sticks to the beans but, um, his boys apparently haven't gotten the message of Huckabee's book, Quit Digging Your Grave With a Knife and Fork: A 12-Step Program to End Bad Habits and Begin a Healthy Lifestyle.
