Kathy,

Chelsea only showed up in the "trained pigs" bit.

There were pictures of some of the trees. But they may have been of the tree where "artists" designed ornaments illustrative of "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

Yes, tongue in cheek. But when I told my friend Tessa the Chelsea story, she asked, "Martha, how can you believe anything written by someone who thinks George Will is a liberal?" It's a good question.

I felt dirty, too. Like I said, I wound up not liking anyone connected with the book--the author or those about whom he write.
