It is not often that chocolate and politics make the front page of the morning newspaper. And in the same sentence. It was revealed in Tuesday’s San Francisco Chronicle that our own Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House, ‘craves chocolate and serves San Francisco’s Ghirardelli chocolates to her office guests’. The Muse believes that this is a good omen for the future of our country. Can we look forward to a time when world leaders will come together over a bar of chocolate?
Will world peace and the price of soybeans hinge on the effects of a 60% cacao content double chocolate chip which is actually produced in San Leandro, not San Francisco? I like the odds of this. I can trust a person who is willing to confess her cravings and has the generosity of spirit to share. Bravo, Madame Speaker. You have our vote.
