Tonight I'm having dinner with Michael Dukakis...along with 30 other people. My favorite quote from Dukakis during the 1988 presidential campaign was,

"They say I'm dispassionate. That doesn't effect me one way or the other. They say I'm arrogant. But I know better. They say I'm a technocrat. But only 15%!"

I thought he should have gotten elected based on his skill at hiring joke-writers alone. But then again, I also love Belgian Endive.
