Yesterday, I wrote about a California State Board of Equalization regulation, 18 CCR § 1587, which solemnly declares that canaries are not food animals.  I then recalled that Francois Mitterand's last meal was a small bird, the Ortolan Bunting, that was drowned in Armagnac, cooked and eaten whole.  Here's an NPR story about the late French President's final repast.  It's gastronomical adventures like these that make it seem sensible to adopt a rule declaring that canaries are not food animals.

By the way, tomorrow "the only game that matters" will be played once again.  Fight Fiercely!
