Joel Achenbach of the Washington Post said in his January 16th "Auchenblog" that today's menu at the Inaugural Luncheon was a "brace of American birds." Notably pheasant and duck.
You know, I never ate pheasant, but duck, yes, and duck is quite tasty (I know: poor Rosanna).
Should the birds feel honored to be served at such a momentous occasion?
Well, let's look at this another way. When (and if) a Duck ever gets elected to the presidency here's what's likely to be on the menu (not a brace of American people):
a melange of seeds, shoots, and grass
aquatic vegetation three ways.
acorns with grain garnish
insect crudo
aquatic invertebrates misto
If this happened to be a female presidential duck and she was pregnant then she'd eat twice as much as any senator in the room. Including the First Man Duck.
As for pheasants. Somehow it's hard to picture a pheasant as president.
