Let them eat Kale

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I know what I wish they’d eat, and then die.

$35,000 a plate?

Only a pie-eyed, bed-wetting leftist would pay that much money to eat with the descendant of African slave traders.

[Genoa]

OK, I really don’t want to know what they were ingesting.

[WKUHilltopper]

And yet...they have the nerve to complain about rich Republicans...

[subterfuge]

you’ll be receiving a bill for my new monitor I just spewed on...good one.

[muawiyah]

A guest list would be illustrative

To heck with selling $5 raffle tickets for din-din with Barky, why doesn’t he just raffle off tickets for $50,000?

Oh wait he does

I have tasted this at their winery, 2009 Sandhi Santa Barbara Chardonnay. It is only slightly better than Trader Joe’s “two buck Chuck” Chardonnay.

Now back to our continuing series: an examination of rich Republicans and how they use their ill-gotten wealth to buy access to politicians far beyond that which ordinary citizens can obtain.

Are there any other kind;)

[Moleman]

Well this is as good of place to boast as any lol. I made Chilean Sea Bass last night at home with a tarragon sauce, was heavenly.

Served with the beef, Hen of the Woods are fancy mushrooms (seen here served over polenta).

Good point.

However, redundancy can be used for emphasis.

“...$35,000 a plate?...”

Based on a 20% tip split one way, that would come to $7,160.00. The total bill would come to $42,960.00. Life is good when you’re king of the hill.

The Obamas and their supporters sure are putting a dent in the lobster supply.

[WOBBLY BOB]

I hade some White Castle sliders- the new ones with mushrooms on it.

Delicious and nutritious.
