Reminds me of the old story of the chicken and the pig, politicians of opposite persuasion who we nonetheless dear friends of long standing, who espied a breakfast eatery as they strolled and conversed one fine morning. "Come, friend," said the chicken, "let us stop in and share a plate of ham and eggs for breakfast." Retorted the pig, orating against his friend's effrontery, "Suh, what you have so casually proposed requires of you a mere contribution, but of me a total commitment!"
