I am hoping that a day will come when MAGA will eat crow. Years ago I had to do that at work and then wrote on my blog this article on Crow Idioms. Enjoy my review of old phrases and how they came about.

Today we drive over it on the Maple Valley Highway. Most don't even know that a town was there.
