That sounds like my mother's recipe -- much better than the Italian's idea
of pouring some sauce over a plate of limp noodles (and much better the

If you want government to intervene domestically, you're a liberal.  If you
want government to intervene overseas, you're a conservative.  If you want
government to intervene everywhere, you're a moderate.  If you don't want
government to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist -- Joseph Sobran
