This is hilarious. Turns out that the husband of Judy Feder, who is running for Congress against Frank Wolf in the 10th District, is a professional sausage maker. According to an article in today's Washington Post ("From the CIA to Stylish Sausages"), Stanley Feder - "with a bachelor's degree from MIT, a PhD from Brandeis University, a 21-year career with the CIA and a thriving consultancy in strategic planning and political risk assessment" - decided as he approached his 60th birthday to start making sausages professionally (his company is known as "Simply Sausages").
As the Post article points out, "Sausage-making is far from pretty. The smell can be overwhelming..." As the great 19th century German Prussian politician, Otto von Bismarck, said: "If you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made." Yet that's exactly what Judy and Stanley Feder might be doing in a few months - making laws and making sausages. That is, if Judy can unseat Frank Wolf in a tough race for Congress. Hey Judy, if you're reading this, can I add one more question to our interview? "Which do you prefer, the REAL making of sausage of the METAPHORICAL making of sausage?" Ha.
