A: The Stanley Cup, the trophy recently won by the Detroit Red Wings as a result of their beating the Pittsburgh Penguins in the National Hockey League championship.B: An historic sports relic that has the name of each member of each team ever to earn the NHL championship engraved on its sides.
C: The very latest shiny object to enter the Michigan State Capitol to cause the giddy distraction of a toddler with a cookie sheet and a wooden spoon among our state's finest products of the democratic process.
A hint: This evening, a daily capital newsletter noted, "Most of the earlier part of House session saw lawmakers participating in a presentation of the Detroit Red Wings 2008 Stanley Cup."
Dang, that gives it away, doesn't it?
Answer: All of the above, of course.
Congratulations to the Red Wings.
Sure, winning the Cup is a major accomplishment, but getting state lawmakers to focus on something for an entire hour that doesn't include the words "free," "breakfast," "lunch," or "dinner" is truly a feat worth celebrating.
