Tonight, by invitation only, starting at 7:00 pm in the Palm Room, the White House welcomes the legonds of country music. Yet another performance brought to you by the President's “In Performance at the White House” label.
No details have been released about the artists invited to perform, but there is much rumor circulating that Taylor Swift will be the headliner.
As of 5:30, guests have already started to arrive and as usual they represent a who's who of campaign donors, banking industry elite, and of course the entertainment industry.
The president and the lovely Michelle Obama are expected to make their appearance at approximately 7:15 through the press gathering at the North Door. Michelle is rumored to be wearing western attire, including a pair of gem studded designer boots. The press is encouraged to pool at 6:45 to prepare for the entrance.
Prior to the event, the Supercommittee is expected to deliver the news of their failure to the president.

All because the republicans won't budge on the tax hikes for the wealthiest of Americans. The tax hikes that would take them back to the Clinton era.  |

2013 is when they kick in. It includes $600B in defense cuts, of which Panetta is none to thrilled about. |

And this is why the failure of the supercommittee doesn't actually matter. Current law is written such that we get both savage spending cuts and increases in taxes if the dysfunction continues. |

Not a new one, but quite timely these days:
A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington,
DC . Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window.
The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they're asking for a $100
million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in
gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car,
collecting
donations."
"How much is everyone giving, on average?" the driver asks.
The man replies, "About a gallon."

You finally posted something I can believe in. Unfortunately, we are on opposite sides of what is acceptable. Oh well. Maybe next time. |

Curious as to how that post would be received if you replaced the word congress, with "The President?" I bet it would be considered shocking and racist. I don't think it's acceptable to joke about the murder of anyone, just because you disagree with them. Carry on. . . I'll try to lighten up.  |

Actually you're right. I was just thinking about changing congress, not actual murder. That will teach me not to read anything TTC writes. |
