Let them eat... red meat?

State fairs. Local diners. Picnics. Fast food on the road. It’s safe to say that our fearless candidates for President have eaten their way across most of the country… in what now has proven to be the longest presidential primary ever.

It’s hard to remember a time when the Obama-Clinton-McCain triangle wasn’t the only thing we talked about… just a few short months ago we had a plethora of ridiculous and wonderful candidates to speculate about and laugh at and watch eat. I have not forgotten Duncan Hunter’s insane ramblings about fences or Mike Gravel’s assertion that he felt like a potted plant. I miss Mitt’s hair and Dodd’s eyebrows. In the spirit of remembrance, I give you this oldie-but-goodie – a list of the candidate’s favorite foods to cook.

Yes We Can (eat cake)!

This blog was born of a rather unfortunate conversation that went something like this:

"Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can...what? What do the Obama people think we can do exactly?!"

"Yes we can...win? Yes we can...govern?"

"Is it time for lunch?"

"Yes we can...eat cake?"

"Wow. That is a winning slogan."

"I want some cake."

You see, there's nothing we like more than cake...unless it's politics. In this forum, we hope to explore that delicious intersection of the two. We will read the headlines, we will bake cakes and by God, we will find a way to combine the two.

So if your political life isn't "sweet" enough (groan), then tune in regularly for a little politcal sugar high. Just don't send us the dental bills.
