I Got a Very Nice Invitation

I got a very nice invitation in the mail the other day. It's from the Republican members of congress. They are inviting me to The President's Dinner.

I asked myself what I had done to deserve such an honor. Then I looked at the enclosed R.S.V.P. form that I am to return to House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert. It seems the only way I can have dinner with the President is to pony up $2,500 for a ticket. They don't even offer a group rate its $25,000 for a table of 10.

So lets just wee what kind of commitment to dinnner I would have to make.

Two round trip tickets to DC $450.
At least one night in a decent hotel in DC $380
Wardrobe for dinner $400
Incidentals $200
Two tickets to dinner $5,000

Total: $6,430.

I don't think I'm going to make it (see the post below). I hope the President and his guests enjoy their pressed chicken.
