Now, we're not too fond of left-wingers here at KeepRightOnline. We're also not too fond of vegetarianism. Such a dangerous fad has already infected some in Conservative circles, with Lucy Roblin, the power behind Ed Hallam's throne, succumbing to only eating things that don't cast a shadow.

He may have been a Democrat, but Richard Ravitch had the right idea when the Democrat took the oath of office for New York state Lieutenant Governor - in a steakhouse:

They came a little early — I believe it was two men and two ladies — and they were joined by a fifth person and switched to a larger table. They drew out some documents, and they were very excited and everything. Mr. Ravitch said, "This is my favorite restaurant, and I wouldn’t take the oath of office anywhere else."

Mmm! The defection of a Republican state senator probably means Ravitch doesn't need to take office in a hurry, so the whole affair may have been moot, but at least Ravitch got a steak out of it: something that may anger some lefties.

As Joey tells the vegetarian Phoebe in Friends when she has meat cravings: if you're gonna do something wrong, do it right.
