Beer at the White House???

SOAPBOX MOMENT: First of all, I think this whole President Obama/Henry Louis Gates/Sergeant Crowley thing is ridiculous. Huge misunderstanding, life stinks, move on. (Easy for me to say because I'm a white woman...I know.) However, since everybody else is talking about it, I'll go ahead and put my two cents in.

Maybe it's just me, but does anybody else think it's a little distasteful to be publicizing and glorifying drinking beer at the White House when there are little kids that live there and call the place home? I can understand and appreciate the whole idea of just trying to appear like a regular guy, but it all seems a little low class to me. Just had to vent...

Moving on to happier times a bit closer to home, we visited Casper's Malt Shoppe for a little treat this evening. As you can see, the sweet stuff was well-received by this little guy.


Which just gave me a great idea! Maybe next time the President could invite everybody over to the White House for ice cream cones...a bit more family friendly! :) Wouldn't the press love that?

I raise my fist of rage along with yours.

The whole thing is Re-frickin-diculous.

Ice cream would be much better. Better addiction too:)

Nope...didn't marry a deer hunter. Guess I saw how often Rachel got left alone:)
