Arugula or Grizzly Bears?

"Arugula-flavoured politics."
That's what the Economist (8/23) calls Barack Obama's brand of politics.

Seems McCain's veepchoice has grizzly bear-flavored politics.

But before we sneer at Sarah Palin for eating moose burgers (if we're so inclined), we might ask ourselves,
Who am I to sneer? Can I honestly say I can distinguish between capers and pickled nasturtium seed pods?

Btw, lest I have been unclear:
I support Obama.
(Good reason #1: health care reform.)
I just don't think the sun rises and sets on him.

And arugula?
Love it! But turnip greens are much cheaper.
