Shane and I went to our corner Italian restaurant, Trattoria Alberto, tonight. It is one of our regular places we like to go out to in our neighborhood. We took Shane's sister, Cherri, there last year and saw soon-to-be House Speaker John Boehner eating there. We have since learned that it is one of his favorite haunts. According to Time magazine, they even have a dish named after him. I haven't noticed it on the menu. We didn't see Boehner tonight, but we were ready to burst into tears to make fun of his tendency to do that at the drop of a hat. Several years ago, we sat next to Senator Lindsey Graham and his all male party (staff?), the Republican closet case from South Carolina. Where do we have to go to see a Democrat in this town?
