…namely Inside the Pelosi Sausage Factory. It is clear she has never met Mike Romano.
Update: Pundit & Pundette links to and re-uses the sausage meme of Strassel. They must not know Mike either.

…and I recommend his impromptus column in the same way as Hemingway recommended C. S. Forester…”to every literate I know“.
Today I have a bone to pick with him. He says something very true about the obamacare bill going through congress:
I am not a liberal Democrat, and you may not be, either. But if we were: Don’t you think we’d be embarrassed at the way Pelosi et al. are going about getting “Obamacare” through? The parliamentary maneuvering, the skullduggery? Especially after Obama and the party at large promised openness, transparency, orderliness, and so on? The Democrats’ legislation would mark a major change in the way we operate in this country. Don’t you think the legislation should be handled with honesty and dignity? Don’t you think that most of the country, or at least a good deal of it, should have a feeling of pride and satisfaction about the process?
Very true and well put but then he hits a pet peeve of mine…
Yes, yes, I know all about “sausage and legislation”
As I wrote to Jay today:
If more laws were made like his (Romano’s) sausages the country would be in fine shape.
When I see that quote in the future I’ll be dropping a small line along with the link to my post on the subject. I hope I have better luck than Tim Blair and the plastic Turkey stuff.
Update: Jay acknowledges Romano.
…concerning Journalism. Although I’m told they check out this site apparently they didn’t read the Romano’s Sausage post.
C’mon Barnicle you’ve been to Romano’s Market. You grew up in Fitchburg, Mike was just starting at the shop when you were graduating, Set these guys straight.
A long time ago on Instapundit there was a comment about laws and sausages. On behalf of Mike I objected to the statement about sausage, leading to this funny statement from Glenn:
How bad have things gotten? Bad enough that when you compare journalism to sausage-making, people write in to defend sausage-makers!
That was seven years ago. Elsewhere that statement has been made over and over again by people who have never seen sausage made. Today we are going to Solve that Problem
This is Mike Romano of Romano’s Market and this post and all the videos that follow is all about how his sausage is made. I’d like to thank Mike for letting me film him during his weekly sausage making.
We come through the door and say Hello:
