But if there's just a long leg. history saying build a bridge to nowhere, what legally prevents the president from telling DOT spend the money on any old highway, not that bridge? And I'm not asking whether it would be politically savvy.

There might be a period of mourning for any family members, but maybe you could go on vacation that week or something.
Or you could eat gyros that week. There is quite a lot of similarity between the shawarma and gyros. I guess for hummus you'll have to go Tuscan and have some cannellini paste.

Sort of. It's only a Holocaust if you burn them in ovens.

WHAT? Shawerma is chicken. Gyros is like beef and pork or something. Shawerma would obviously never involve pork.

I would have thought that holocaust was a subset of genocide?

Shawarma can also be beef or lamb. And if it's prepared in the traditional way, by stacking slices of meat and onion that have been seasoned on an upright spit and roasting them, slicing off the outer edges as they cook, it is almost the same thing as gyros, which is beef or beef and lamb. No pork.

It is a subset, but the means are as important as the end.

You are correct, sir, but I did then go see Dave Chappelle, so the day was not a total loss.

Whoops. I eat all the meat, so I don't pay attention to what is and isn't in things as much.

I have not eaten meat that is not easily identified at any all-you-can-eat buffet in at least a year.

I would be able to identify cat meat in that context. I believe it would have spines. And be shaped quite differently from human meat.
