I just got the seating arrangement for my dinner (plus guest) with potUS and Flotus. Wonder what he told the other folks? Of course, he didn't say we had actually been invited, but he does want a donation of $3.00 or more. Might have done so if $2.00 was all it takes. NOT!

Please note that the 'contest' is for 4 winners plus their guests. That would mean a table seating 10 would be necessary. Guess some couple would be left at a table by themselves in 'left' field.

Online story: "PHOENIX -- Animal lovers threatened to pull donations to an animal rescue group and the public flooded the agency with scathing comments and calls after a man's cat was euthanized when he couldn't afford its medical care, * The group has hired a publicist, * injury that he described as non-life-threatening. The agency said it would cost $400 to treat Scruffy, money he didn't have." -- This is a "humane" group? The man could afford $400.00 for a 'band aid',and the Arizona Humane Society coughed up way more than that to hire a publicist for damage control...sick sick sick.

I wish that when the L-E reports a story about something that is funded by "federal funds", the L-E would say it was funded by Congressional Special Interest with our tax dollars instead.

What a hypocrite! Eric Holder, our Attorney General, that is. Holder is challenging South Carolina's new law requiring a photo ID to vote. Wish some national media reporter would ask Holder this simple question: Mr Holder, since you've been Attorney General, how many people have been to your office without either a work related phot ID badge, or either a 'visitor' badge for which a photo ID was required to obtain?

It's strange, no, more than strange, that there hasn't been an "Iraqi War ending/Welcome Home Troops" parade in Washington or NYC (or anywhere I know of). I think one huge parade needs to be staged...how about along our US-Mexico border..

Reports are that a meal hosted by the O'Blather's in a neighborhood restaurant near potUS O'Blather's Hawaiian homestead had 3 different types of butter on the table. Will butter be added to Michelle O'Blather's balanced diet plate, or does this mean Paula Dean is about to be named head of the school lunch program?

From the 'suspicions confirmed' department - L-E story: "The president’s great-grandfather’s name was Obama. Obama is derived from the word “bam”, meaning crooked or indirect, she (Sally Jacobs) said in her book." --Talk about being born a politician!

L-E headline: "Trash collection up 8.5 percent over holidays " -- Oooops, my bad. Thought the Crime Committee had a better than expected month.
