I want to welcome you to another in our wonderful series politics and eggs which goes back many years to 1997, some people are surprised to know that if you ever saw the show, the west wing, if you are student at saint anselm you say ive never seen that. But politics and eggs in the west wing at one point, when president bartlett is signing the x in the oval office, very funny. Hopefully we will have that happen again.
