Holiday favorites include Christmas turkey, which the Italians devoured long before the Pilgrims, and is served here with hot fruits; and milk-fed baby lamb, traditionally tendered at Easter, accompanied by egg and lemon sauce.

And a "loyal opposition" in Congress all for eager to rubber-stamp these policies, as long as they can sign their names to those bills that represent pork barrel to their constituents, and support the rest...anonymously. Perhaps the next step will be a government of total anonymity, for which voters will select nameless candidates--Brand A or Brand B--on the basis of unattributed empty slogans and hollow promises, and anonymous records of supporting shameful legislation.
