Now she needs to start having Tupperware parties to store the leftovers from the veggie bouquets.

Those arrangements are totally lacking in grace. The beauty of flowers shows up when they’re not crammed together, much less set off by weeds such as cactus, and stuffed into hot-glue gun covered containers.

And you’re right! The two-toned blue tablecloth should have been white to show off the gold trimmed dinner plates and vermeil silverware.

My comment about the table cloths was meant to agree with your comment.

“Q . What’s the difference between the President and the vase of ornamental cabbage in the White House situation room?

A. The vase has a sensible head on its shoulders.

Lettuce pray ...”

First cup of coffee monitor spray! Mornin’ piasa!

“On a daily basis, though, President Obama is said to prefer one simple floral arrange ment in the Oval Office, plus a bowl of red apples.”

Well, that’s pretty thoughtful of him. I realize he is the Pres—ent of the U.S., but these flowers cost a minimum of
$50/day * 5 days a week * 52 weeks = $13,000 / year.

And this is only one office. And we’re told that we’re not paying enough taxes to meet the budget.

Let’s not spread this out among everyone, but personalize it. Is your entire annual federal tax bill the one being used to pay for flowers for Obama’s office this year?

Is that why her designer is always strapping those belts on her?

By gosh, that looks like a Batman Utility Belt she has on!

“Michelle Obama has Obama-ized the White House .... and ramped up the fashion quotient with metallic strapless dresses and studded belts.”

The above proves once again that while one can take the ‘community activist’ out of the ghetto, one can most assuredly not take the ghetto out of the ‘community activist’.

“Dear Genevieve” is also a copy cat - such arrangements were hardly unknown back in the Woodstock days, when Dippy the Hippy and his followers squatted in a circle around the arrangement.

Then they ate it.

Somehow putting “hot glue gun” and the White House in the same context has really lowered the ................. darn I can’t even come up with the right word for that coupling.

GET THEM OUT before the antiques and historical sacraments of this country get replaced with blow up chairs and bean bags (of course with belts).

In an amazing and unparalled feat in American journalistic history, the Washington Post has managed to gather together every insane sob sister under one roof.

Indeed it won’t be much longer before they have the White House looking like the Sanford Arms apartments.

Yes, and it compliments the bronze chiffon underbelt, quite nicely.
