5 things:
1. Last week I read something by the First Lady--about how she & the Mr. have encouraged their daughters to ski! Yes, "Let's Keep Moving"!! or something is her mantra this year. But then this morning, in CVS, one of the tabloids had a shocking headline: (and I'm just extrapolating...I didn't buy a copy) "Obamas have big fight over her wild spending! She takes the kids to Aspen, and he goes to Florida." (zzzzz). Some of the sidebars show Malia and Sasha skiing (presumably in Aspen). Actually, I don't see where Mrs. Obama is any big wild spender. I mean, she grows the White House's veggies!! Just like my mom did during WWII. (And have YOU priced out a head of cabbage lately?? Whew!)
2. Let's ask what was the Prex doing in Florida? Last week I read that the White House Press people were ticked off because Barack did not tell them he was golfing with....gasp.....Tiger Woods! That may be their story and they're sticking with it, but I also read that Barack really was golfing with OIL MAGNATES, and he didn't want the public (who at that very day/hour/moment were demonstrating out in front of the WH and getting arrested because they are against fracking and the pipeline and such) to know!! Was poor Tiger Wood just a front? (And I still have to laugh about the time his wife bashed in the back window of his car--you go, girl!) Is Michelle gonna take lessons from Elin on OTHER ways to use those golf clubs? Was Barack getting friendly with the greedy oil merchants? And today they say he was down there getting away from the fireworks at home. One doesn't know what to believe these days. The Republicans can't tell the truth from a hole in the wall, and Newt Gingrich will never get to be Pope.
3. Joe Biden is LOTS SMARTER than any old ash tray. He is about 15 times smarter than Dick Cheney and 100 times smarter than W. Besides, he's funny, and people like him. His WIFE is a PHD, for cat's sake! More than you can say about other vice-presidents. Remember Spiro Agnew?? And let's all get down on our knee bones and thank our lucky stars that other Joe (Lieberman) didn't get in! Uff da! Have you read what he's doing this week??
4. I just made a recipe (Pollo e Patate della Mama) out of a Lidia Bastianich cookbook, and I hate to say this, but it wasn't very good. I left out the bacon rolls because although bacon tends to put me right in the hospital, it does have a delicious taste. That's the breaks, I guess. Leave the good stuff out of a recipe, and pay the price. I think those big-time Italian chef women have cast iron stomachs. There's a picture of Lidia and her Mama in this book, and they are shuffling cards and looking like they're enjoying whatever clear spirits are in their glasses. Grappa?
5. Or maybe they're just having a suck off a bottle of EverClear!? Much cheaper.
