| TOP FERMENTATION: Tom Schlafly's monthly column |
February 5, 2008 is a date with dual significance. First, it's the day on which Missouri and lots of other states are holding their Super Duper Tuesday, presidential primary elections. Second, it's Mardi Gras, which is known as Fat Tuesday in English. This coincidence might prompt some less alert readers (LARs) to ask what distinguishes Fat Tuesday from Super Duper Tuesday. Easy. One of them is a debauched spectacle that prompts brazen displays of public foolishness. And the other is a pre-Lenten celebration.
Two days later marks the start of the year 4706 in the Chinese calendar. For only the second time in its history the United States will elect and inaugurate a new president in the Chinese Year of the Rat. Given the proliferation of candidates competing for this distinction and their general lack of civility towards one another, it only seems fitting to refer to them collectively as The Rat Pack.
Before proceeding, however, I want to anticipate the challenges that might come from some nit-picking readers (NPRs) questioning my statement about the historical significance of our next president and the Year of the Rat. Those who have no interest in this explanation may want to skip the next two paragraphs.
