Members take their turn in the kitchen

The 24th annual March of Dimes gala at the National Building Museum on Tuesday night gave pols a chance to show off their cooking skills.

2. There were going to have chili, but w/o funding, they have nothing.

Enjoy America.

3. Goes well with "Weapons of Mass Destruction Salad"

Or as an alternative to "Shock and Awe Stew"

4. Let me guess. It left you still hungry but full of a lot of hot air.

And her reference to "You got to have a gimmick" comes from the song sung by the strippers in the musical Gypsy. More GOP family values.

5. "Mr. and Mrs. Tenorman Chili!" AAAAIIIEEE!!

If you don't understand, ask a South Park fan. They might shiver when they explain, though.

6. "Tastes like chili from

a child's behind . . ."

[Supersedeas]

7. Yea, we know by now that there is a gimmick to be found

8. So, then, it is chili without meat

just like NCLB.

9. Take one child, mince well. Stir with sauteed onions and crocodile tears.
