'Daily' Dose

From "America: The Calendar":
Saturday, Jan. 7 "The Democratic Party's symbol, the donkey, represents the type of nstubbornness that forces a town council to put a menorah up in the square alongside the Christmas tree even though the town has only five Jewish families."

Sunday, Jan. 8 "The Republican Party's symbol, the elephant, represents the astounding memory of people who, if you say anything bad about them ever, file it away in a Rolodex of spite...and then trample you to death."
