Latke Hamantash Symposium - 61st Edition

This year's debate lived up to my expectations, but did not exceed them. In terms of numbers, there were two in favor of the latke, two in favor of the hamantash, approximately. Although all the speakers put forth good (although primarily fallacious) arguments, I was especially impressed with Alberto Simpser, who explained that election fraud contributed to the latke's perpetual win of the vote count. He stated that the Latke Lobby is in the business of not only setting the agenda of the debate, but also of intimidation of the voters, similar to states like Iraq (under Hussein, I assume) and cities like Chicago.

Anyway, the point is, I had fun.
