Calamari on the beach

[Representative Joseph McNamara and chef John Bordieri, from, yes, Rhode Island. Click for a larger view.]

Said Representative McNamara,

“Our state appetizer calamari is available in all fifty states. The calamari comeback state of Rhode Island casts one vote for Bernie Sanders and thirty-four votes for the next president, Joe Biden.”

I grabbed my phone and took a picture to send to the kiddos. I waited until this morning to get a better shot from C-SPAN.

Many people found Rhode Island’s presentation delightful. But mileage varies. I found this bit deeply, unintentionally weird, in that low-budget-TV-commercial way.

[Do you remember the This American Life look into “artificial calamari”?]
