Bill's donuts, and more

One of my favorite authors writes, in anticipation of Super Tuesday:

Amidst the endless debating, debacles, and the super duper dissing, it’s easy to forget that even politicians must eat.

I therefore urge you to read this fun little piece I’ve written for CHOW.com. It probably won’t help you decide who to vote for, but you might learn something you never knew about our hungriest presidents. Bon appétit!

This reminds me, by the way, of an important and cogent piece of advice (please excuse the vernacular) all candidates should be given when running for office, "During a campaign, never miss an opportunity to eat or pee, because you never know when you will have your next chance and it can be a really, really long day."

What a great idea for a column. Can't believe I didn't know that about Ike. Good stuff there.

That's a guiding principle of surgical residency.

Also, all politicians should take advice from your past posts and bring some alcohol hand gel with them.

That peeing thing is good advice.
