Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Some of those menu items seem a little too “south of the border” for comfort. I mean, what’s next? Singing the National Anthem in Spanish? And the rest are so…elitist. I mean, some of that shit practically sounds French. Where the fuck are the hotdogs and ambrosia salad? Peach and blackberry cobbler?! What’s wrong with good, old-fashioned American apple pie, huh?
At least the entertainment sounds good. Darn the luck that I’m not a member of Congress, so I’ll have to miss out on “The Compassionates,” featuring White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten on guitar.
