    I knew it was Ken

    Lock them up, hire NCOs, no more free meals. Sierra, I just can't remember ever wanting to pay for a plate and listen to someone banter.

    It depends on how you approach it. I did that in 1996 at a state party convention. Not too pricey, but more than the dish was worth. However, I got my money's worth by partaking of the bottomless glass of wine that they seemed to be offering. Either that was an actual special offer, or the waitress just allotted everyone else's share to my table. The funny thing is that I was only 18. I guess they figured young people weren't into politics, so no ID check. Between me and the old codger sitting next to me, we polished off 5 bottles of some decent stuff - any one bottle of which was about equal to the price for the dinner and banter.

    I hope that I have not tempted anyone to cease being apolitical.
