Look at what they'll be eating at the White House state dinner

I've been working on our new site, and it's extremely time-consuming. Please forgive the slower pace of the posts today and the next few days.

Meanwhile, feast your eyes on the White House feast!

Nummm!

Palin is one of us! Except for eating at one of world's priciest restaurants

The way she talks: So folksy.

The way she quits: So winky.

The way she breaks promises: So blamey.

The way she wears fish waders: So photo-oppy.

The way she panders: So Barbie McLipSchmutzy.

The way she misrepresents herself: So daily...

Last week, while in New York City, Palin dined at Serendipity 3, a restaurant in one of Manhattan’s swankier sections. [...] It’s famous for the "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a sundae composed of edible gold and 28 different cocoas from across the globe. This treat, which costs $25,000, holds the Guinness world record for most expensive dessert. [...]

Not only was she in one of the more expensive corners of the Big Apple (a city she promised ‘true’ Americans she would not visit during her book tour, on account of its elites); she was dining at a restaurant where just one item costs more than what many of her supporters will make in a year. Maybe more than twice what some of them will make.

There now. That should appeal to all those regular folk who Barbie claims to adore pallin' around with, except when she abandons them.

Eating in fancy schmancy elitist restaurants: Priceless.

Bristol Palin's future mother-in-law has a fancy new lawyer

I wonder who's paying for Lawbooks McHotshot... Sarah Palin maybe? Or perhaps Sherry sold enough Oxycontin to Rush Limbaugh to be able to save up:

Sherry Johnston came to court Friday morning with an entourage -- son Levi, daughter Mercedes, and her new attorney, prominent Anchorage defense lawyer Rex Butler.

Johnston left with a new trial date: May instead of March.

The 42-year-old pleaded not guilty last month to six felony counts of possessing and selling the prescription painkiller OxyContin. [...]

Her arrest received national attention because her son, Levi Johnston, 18, is the father of Gov. Sarah Palin's grandson, Tripp, born in December. [...]

With the presidential election over and the national media long gone, no one paid special attention to the group, though Superior Court Judge Eric Smith did ask one of the young men to remove his ball cap.

Butler told Smith that he filed notice Friday morning that he was taking over as Johnston's lawyer, replacing a state-funded attorney from the Office of Public Advocacy. He asked Smith to push back the trial to allow him to get up to speed on the case.

Smith set a new trial date of May 18.

Butler [is]one of the busiest defense attorneys in Anchorage...

Now Sherry can say the Butler did it.
