"Oatmeal Cookie" (1884) & the official cookie of Connecticut

[George Thompson]

It's also true that there will be a budget to pass next year, and taxes,
and such, and the year after, and the year after. . . .  When will this
poor cookie get it's due?  It could have to wait until it becomes stale,
and "justice delayed is justice denied".
