The Great Cookie Debate

Well,today was the great cookie debate at SWA. The two candidates, Cocoa and Chunky, expressed their views on eating cookie dough, cookie economics, cookies in the military, and cookies- a right or a responsability. Cocoa is a chocolate cookie with white chips, Chunky is a normal chocolate chip cookie.


Stevie had his first experience in politics today, as he was the spokesman for the "Love at First Bite" party that nominated Cocoa. His classmate Stephen Fish spoke for the McFlamen Party that supports Chunky. One highlight of the debate was when Stevie told of Cocoa's war experience as a member of the Cookie Marines fighting radical food. (I do wonder what kind of food is radical. Sauerkraut? Dragon eyes? Durian? Gummy worms?) Cocoa lost his leg fighting a suicide bomber. Cookies gave him the strength to go on so he wants every soldier to have the opportunity to eat Cocoa cookies. Another highlight was when Stevie decried sending millions of dollars overseas to import cookies. He also recommended dunking milk in your cookies. (The other side actually agreed with that stand.)



Stevie really did quite well and we were proud of him. Even Abby admitted he did a good job. The polls show that the debate changed a lot of minds, but they also reveal an election too close to call. Stay tuned. On November 4, we will carry the very important news of who won the Great Cookie Election. May the best cookie win!
