No Dinner With Barack

To those few remaining people who actually take the presidency seriously, I hate to burst your bubble but I just saw an ad on Facebook that said: "Enter to win a chance for Dinner with Barack!" The ad was sponsored by Citizens for Obama/Biden, so I guess they know about it. Seems sort of a childish way to go about getting re-elected, if you ask me, which nobody did, but if they did, that's what I'd say.

Now, as for that dinner--if dining with Tommy Lee Jones, Cher (my age exactly), Bruce Willis (who wouldn't), Mitt Romney (our next president), Ron Paul (nutty but principled), Big Bird (how hot is it inside that costume?), Denzel Washington (he went to high school with my husband), Caroline Kennedy, Benjamin Netanyahu (brilliant Jew), Hillary Clinton (what's Bill really like?), Mick Jagger (come on), Jackson Browne (a God), Jerry Seinfeld (oh please), Larry David, Susie Essman (she cracks me up), Bonnie Raitt, Richard Lewis (he's hysterical), Olivier Martinez (talk him out of marrying Halle Berry), Mark Zuckerberg (he would pay), Chris Cooper, Meryl Streep, Albert Brooks (funny and neurotic) Stevie Winwood, Michael Phelps (stroke tips), Joan Rivers (see her up close), Don DeLillo (have him autograph "White Noise"), Geraldo Rivera (high-five) or any member of the Philharmonic Orchestra (what a great life) were a possibility I might consider entering that contest; at least we'd have what to talk about. But unless you are about to purchase a Portuguese Water Dog puppy and are looking for training tips, dinner with Barack sounds pretty dull, wouldn't you agree?

FYI: I clicked the ad to see at least where the dinner would be held or what they would be serving, and learned that the deadline for the Dinner With Barack Contest has passed, but you can still support his campaign with your donation. They suggested I "do it today!" Needless to say, I didn't.
