...does this for three reasons. One, most Babbo customers are rich Manhattanites spoiled by big hunks of filet mignon and Alaskan halibut. "Testa brings a depth you don't get by using the biggest, best cut of meat," Batali says. Two, as he says in his new show, Mario Eats Italy--shot on location in the motherland--Batali believes that the true basis of a lot of Italian cooking is poverty. Those who can't afford much don't waste something as precious as pig lips. Three, Batali thinks it's funny to serve headcheese for 10 bucks...

...error, but an accurate and binding reflection of the will of the people. It is time to standardize and modernize our voting system in the U.S., if not for the people's sake, than at least for Dan Rather's. Let's get him back to reporting on Alaskan prize pumpkins and Angiostatin. Who knows what another election scandal would...
