It's been an ongoing topic for years. Don't change it.
I'd want to know if the same people wouldn't mind rewriting the bible to remove some things in there? I mean they do threaten to cut a baby in half.

The true meaning of that song.Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni.The “macaroni” in question does not, however, refer to the food, but rather to a fashion trend that began in the 1760s among aristocratic British men.
On returning from a Grand Tour (a then-standard trip across Continental Europe intended to deepen cultural knowledge), these young men brought to England a stylish sense of fashion consisting of large wigs and slim clothing as well as a penchant for the then-little-known Italian dish for which they were named. In England at large, the word “macaroni” took on a larger significance. To be “macaroni” was to be sophisticated, upper class, and worldly.

I’d like to see the Daily Show roving reporter ask folks at a POOTWH rally their thoughts on drag shows and queens and then ask if they can recite the song. Then follow up with a question about the particular meaning of macaroni and its origin and then explain it to them. Stunned silence? Denial? Slug him?
