Funny Ha-Ha > Why Did Nixon Watch Deep Throat So Many Times?

I went to bed early last night, so no convention blogging or Thursday Gun Links, but here are some sprinkle-covered goodies.

So Teresa Heinz Kerry submitted her favorite cookie recipe to Family Circle, which became an election year tradition after Hillary Clinton famously said she didn't stay home and make cookies. Only it turns out she now admits it wasn't her recipe, and the cookies weren't very good.

No big deal, really. This isn't going to turn into Cookiegate. But it brings up some presidential trivia: Tricky Dicky Nixon did the same thing with a wedding cake recipe. The cake thus prepared was so bad even his little dog Checkers wouldn't eat it.

Which reminds me of a great early '70s joke.

Q: Why did Nixon watch Deep Throat so many times?
A: He wanted to get it down Pat.

Thanks, folks. I'll be here all week. Remember to tip your waitress.
